About Sylwia
Her sessions focus on clear conversation and steady progress rather than jargon. She listens for what matters most to each person and helps them identify small changes that add up. Common topics she addresses include depression, motivation, life purpose and midlife crisis concerns.
Sylwia also works with issues related to attachment, communication, commitment and blended family dynamics. She supports people dealing with infidelity, jealousy, domestic violence aftermath, substance concerns and immigration stress. These topics are discussed in straightforward terms so clients can find practical next steps.
Her approach draws on several methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, attachment-based ideas and client-centred ways of working. Hypnotherapy is also part of her toolkit when appropriate to a person’s goals. Sessions are delivered in English and Polish to suit bilingual needs.
People who prefer a compassionate, conversational style may find her approach helpful. She encourages collaborative goal-setting and practical coping strategies. To start, follow the booking steps on the site and complete the short matching questionnaire.

How therapy approaches translate online
Sylwia uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose values-based actions. ACT can suit people wanting to reconnect with meaning and direction during midlife transitions.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at relationship patterns and how early connections affect current trust and closeness. This approach helps with communication problems, commitment concerns and attachment-related anxiety.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences, and adjust techniques as the work progresses.
If you are considering online therapy, please confirm the session formats available before booking as they are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow people to meet with a therapist who speaks English or Polish without relocating. Discuss format options during the matching and scheduling steps to choose what will work best for daily life.
