Sylwia GrabowskaAASW

Sylwia Grabowska is an AASW counsellor working in Australia with three years of experience. She focuses on everyday problems like stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports people facing relationship and parenting concerns. Her style is warm and straightforward, and she aims to make the first step feel manageable.

Sylwia keeps sessions simple and practical. She listens first, then helps people try small changes that fit their life. She uses clear tools from approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help reframe unhelpful thoughts and build useful routines.

She pays attention to attachment issues that affect how people relate to others. When relationships feel stuck, she helps clients notice patterns and practise different ways of communicating. This can be useful for people dealing with jealousy, infidelity, blended family tensions, or commitment doubts.

Sylwia also works with people facing bigger stresses like migration or past trauma. She blends client-centred listening with mindfulness and, when suited to the person, hypnotherapy techniques to calm racing thoughts and focus on present goals. She explains each option and checks what feels comfortable.

Her sessions are honest and paced around each person. She helps people set realistic steps, try them between sessions, and reflect on what works. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that fits them.

How Sylwia’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often used when anxiety, stress or a lack of motivation are getting in the way of everyday life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and introduces practical strategies to test and change unhelpful thinking patterns. This can be helpful for anxiety, low mood and relationship-related worries.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods to try first and adjust them as needs and goals become clearer. Clients are involved in choosing at every stage so the plan fits their situation and preferences.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins on difficult days. It can also let people try sessions from a quieter space, use less data by turning video off, or arrange times that suit work and family commitments.
