About Sylwia

AASW social worker with three years' experience in Australia. Sylwia Grabowska works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting concerns, low self-esteem and depression. She uses practical conversations and evidence-informed methods to help people take manageable steps forward.

Sylwia bases sessions on clear, respectful dialogue. She listens for what matters to the client and helps set short-term goals. Sessions mix discussion with exercises from approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy when those fit the person's needs.

She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. Hypnotherapy may be used as an adjunct for focused work on habits and anxiety when appropriate. The approach is collaborative and paced to what the person can manage.

Sylwia works in English and Polish and understands issues related to immigration and cultural adjustment. Practical problems such as communication breakdown, commitment doubts, blended family tension, infidelity and substance use are among the topics she helps people work through.

Clients can expect straightforward planning, check-ins on progress, and suggested exercises between sessions. The subscription-based session model can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and choosing actions that matter to the client. It helps with anxiety, stress and finding direction when values feel unclear. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with depression and anxiety. Attachment-Based Therapy examines relationship patterns and how early bonds shape current behaviour, useful for relationship, trust and communication issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, then try approaches that fit. That learning is collaborative and may change as therapy progresses.

Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Some people find phone or video sessions more convenient for balancing work, study and family commitments. Appropriately qualified therapists can adapt exercises used in ACT, CBT and attachment-based work to suit an online session.
