About Sylwia

Sylwia Grabowska is an AASW social worker practising in Australia with three years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, low self-esteem and depression. Sessions are offered in English and Polish. She also lists life purpose and midlife crisis among her focus areas.

Clients can expect straightforward, conversational sessions that focus on the problems they bring. Sylwia uses a mix of approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and attachment-based ideas to look at patterns and practical steps forward. She also offers hypnotherapy and client-centred techniques when these suit the person’s goals.

Her style leans toward exploring how thoughts, behaviours and relationships affect daily life. That can mean identifying small changes, practising new ways of speaking in relationships, or working on clearer boundaries in parenting and blended family situations. She also addresses issues like immigration stress, guilt and shame, and the effects of infidelity or domestic violence in concrete terms.

Sylwia notes that cost varies with location and that sessions use a subscription which can be cancelled at any time. International clients are not currently accepted. To begin, people are asked to use the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.

Her work suits adults who feel stuck after a life change or who are questioning what comes next. The emphasis is on practical steps and collaborative problem-solving rather than quick fixes.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and reconnect with values. Online ACT sessions often include practical exercises and short behavioural experiments to try between meetings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought patterns and testing them against real life. In online CBT, clients might work on homework sheets, mood tracking and structured behaviour plans. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and communication. In remote work this can mean reviewing interaction examples and practising new ways of relating with prompts from the therapist.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether ACT, CBT, attachment ideas or a mix fits best, and then try out methods in regular sessions to see what helps.

The biography does not state which session formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work or family commitments, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let a person use video, phone or other supported options depending on what the therapist offers and what suits day-to-day life.
