Malwina Matysek, BACP

Malwina Matysek is a UK-based integrative therapist who draws on cognitive behavioral therapy alongside other approaches to support people through difficult life moments. She works with individuals facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, grief, and relationship challenges, helping them explore strengths and practical ways to move forward. With four years of experience, she emphasizes a collaborative stance that trusts the client as the expert on their own life while offering guidance to access greater clarity when circumstances feel overwhelming.

Malwina frames therapy as a partnership - together they identify goals, explore patterns that get in the way, and develop coping strategies suited to the client’s needs and values. She is registered with the BACP, which indicates membership in the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Malwina provides sessions in English and Polish and accepts international clients, offering flexible ways to connect so people can begin change from wherever they are.

Taking the first step into therapy can require courage, and Malwina aims to make that step manageable by creating a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients can discover their own path forward.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Malwina uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and behavior patterns, then develop practical strategies to reduce distress and improve everyday functioning - this approach is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. She also incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on helping people accept difficult feelings while clarifying personal values and taking meaningful action, often helpful during life transitions and chronic worry. In addition, Attachment-Based Therapy is used to explore how early relationship patterns influence current connections and emotional responses, supporting work on intimacy, relationship difficulties, and trust issues.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Malwina works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors the work as therapy progresses so the approach remains relevant and effective for the individual.

Online therapy with Malwina is available by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain consistent sessions, access support from home or while traveling, and integrate therapy into a busy life while working with licensed professionals and therapists who adapt methods to each client’s situation.
