Malwina Matysek, BACP

Malwina Matysek is a BACP-registered therapist based in the United Kingdom who offers integrative, evidence-informed care tailored to each person's needs. With four years of clinical experience, she supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and a wide range of life changes. She also works with issues such as self-esteem, parenting challenges, sleep and eating difficulties, anger, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and career-related struggles.

Malwina draws on a blend of therapeutic approaches, including cognitive behavioral methods and acceptance-based techniques, to help clients identify patterns, build coping skills, and move toward meaningful values and goals. She believes clients are the experts in their own lives and that therapy is a collaborative process that amplifies existing strengths when overwhelm makes clarity hard to find. Her practice is attentive to attachment and relational dynamics, which can be central to healing from loss, abandonment, or long-standing relationship patterns.

Sessions are offered in English and Polish, and Malwina is available to work with international clients. She aims to create a compassionate, practical space where people can explore options, try new strategies, and find a way forward at a pace that suits them.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that adapt to you

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and taking committed action toward what matters. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and situations where avoidance gets in the way of living a meaningful life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It provides practical strategies for managing symptoms of anxiety, low mood, trauma-related responses, addictive behaviors, and many everyday problems.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early and current relationship patterns shape emotional responses and intimacy. This approach can be helpful for people dealing with relationship difficulties, abandonment concerns, and attachment issues.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Malwina collaborates with each client to choose or adapt methods based on their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the focus as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with a registered professional offers flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter conversations can happen via live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, maintain continuity across locations, and try different formats to discover what supports growth and healing best.
