Sylwia Grabowska

Sylwia Grabowska is an AASW counsellor practising in Australia with three years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, parenting strains, low self‑esteem and depression. Sylwia speaks English and Polish and aims to make the first steps toward change feel achievable and practical.

Sylwia keeps sessions straightforward and warm. She helps people talk through what matters most and set small, realistic goals. Conversations focus on what the client wants to change and how to get there, not on jargon or long assessments.

Her work brings together tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive behavioural approaches, alongside attachment‑informed conversations and client‑centred listening. Hypnotherapy is also part of her toolkit for people who find that helpful. The emphasis is on useful techniques you can try between sessions.

Sylwia pays attention to relationships and the ways people connect with others. She supports people dealing with attachment struggles, blended family issues, commitment and communication problems, and the fallout from infidelity or jealousy. She also addresses addiction, domestic violence impacts, immigration stress and post‑traumatic stress where these come up.

Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled any time. To begin, a person taps the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and books according to the therapist's schedule. She does not take international clients.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then focus on actions that matter to them. It is often used for anxiety, stress and finding direction. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns; it is commonly used for anxiety and depression. Attachment‑Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape emotional patterns and can help with trust, connection and relationship difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has worked before, then tailor methods together. That means sessions can combine ideas from ACT, CBT or attachment‑focused work depending on what the person needs.

Confirm the available online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a weeknight or a lunch break, reduce travel time and allow more flexible scheduling. Some formats may be less demanding on internet bandwidth or allow shorter check‑ins, so discuss practical needs when arranging appointments. Appropriately qualified therapists can adapt these approaches to work well in remote sessions, and the focus will remain on achievable steps and clear goals.
