About Sylwia
Sylwia Grabowska is an AASW social worker practising in Australia with three years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strains and parenting concerns. Sessions are offered in English and Polish. She also focuses on self-esteem and motivation support.
Her practice addresses attachment issues and the challenges that come with blended family arrangements. People contact her about communication problems, commitment worries and jealousy. She also takes referrals for post-traumatic stress, grief and issues linked to substance use and domestic violence.
Sylwia uses practical therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to map out small changes. She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. Hypnotherapy and client-centred work are other tools she may introduce where helpful.
In a typical session she listens first, then helps set a few clear goals for what the client wants to change. The work is interactive and often includes exercises to try between sessions. Sylwia aims to help people build everyday skills like clearer communication and steadier routines.
She asks new clients to complete a short questionnaire before booking a first session. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and session costs vary by location. International clients are not accepted at this time.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take values-based action. ACT can help with anxiety, stress and motivation by teaching simple strategies to get moving despite worry.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression and relationship-related habits because it gives clear steps to try between sessions.
Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationship patterns affect current reactions and closeness with others. This approach can be useful when loyalty conflicts, trust or blended household dynamics are causing repeated problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sylwia will discuss options with each person and decide together which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative choice can be adjusted over time as needs change.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online arrangements. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, shorten a check-in if needed, avoid travel time and offer flexible scheduling around work or family routines. Therapists who use these approaches aim to make sessions practical and directly useful for everyday blended household challenges.
