Malwina Matysek , BACP

Malwina Matysek is a UK-based therapist trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy who provides an integrative approach to counselling. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, low self-esteem, trauma and abuse, loss, and relationship difficulties, helping them regain clarity when life feels overwhelming.

Drawing on CBT alongside complementary methods, Malwina encourages clients to identify their strengths and build practical skills to manage thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. She believes that each person has valuable insight into their own life and that therapy can help unlock that inner clarity to find a way forward.

Beginning therapy can take courage, and Malwina acknowledges that first step with respect and encouragement. Her practice focuses on collaboration - exploring what matters to the client, clarifying goals, and working steadily toward meaningful change. Malwina holds BACP, which is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, indicating membership of a recognised professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Malwina integrates several evidence-informed approaches to meet different needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful patterns of thought and behaviour and teaching practical strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values and build psychological flexibility by learning to accept difficult feelings while committing to meaningful actions. Client-Centered Therapy prioritises the client’s experience, offering empathetic, non-directive support to foster self-understanding and personal growth.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Malwina works collaboratively with each person to explore which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, and she adapts the plan as therapy progresses with input from the client and guidance from licensed professionals where appropriate.

Online therapy offers practical accessibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and needs. These flexible options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home or while travelling, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable.
