Malwina Matysek , BACP

Malwina Matysek is a credentialed CBT therapist based in the United Kingdom who offers an integrative approach to therapy. With four years of clinical experience and BACP credentials - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - she blends evidence-based methods with a respectful, person-focused stance. Malwina works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, low self-esteem, trauma and abuse, bereavement, and relationship difficulties, helping them navigate both immediate struggles and longer term patterns that affect wellbeing.

She approaches therapy with the belief that each person has their own strengths and insights, and that these resources can be used to move through challenging times. When feeling overwhelmed, it can be hard to access clarity or see a path forward; Malwina supports clients in identifying practical steps and new perspectives to regain balance. She also offers support in English and Polish, and attends to a wide range of concerns including coping with life changes, parenting, anger, career issues, ADHD, and intimacy-related problems.

Beginning therapy is often a courageous step, and Malwina aims to make the process collaborative and respectful as she works with clients to find their way forward.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. It helps clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical strategies to manage symptoms like anxiety, low mood, and difficulties with motivation or daily functioning. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT - encourages people to clarify their values and learn skills to accept uncomfortable emotions while committing to meaningful actions; it can be useful for stress, avoidance patterns, and long-standing difficulties that affect quality of life. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns influence current connections and emotional responses, supporting work on intimacy, abandonment concerns, and relationship challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Malwina collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences, and adapts techniques as therapy progresses to ensure the best match. The choice of approach is shared and flexible rather than fixed.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for many people. Sessions can take place by video call or phone, or through live chat and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access support from different locations. Licensed professionals can deliver the same therapeutic techniques effectively through these formats while working with clients to find what feels most comfortable and workable for them.
