About Sylwia
Sylwia Grabowska is an AASW clinician practising in Australia with three years of experience. She supports people coping with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges and low self-esteem. Sylwia aims to make the first step feel manageable and works alongside clients as they begin change.
Sylwia keeps sessions straightforward and practical. Conversations focus on what is happening now and on small, doable steps. She uses a mix of body-awareness work and talking therapies to help people notice how tension shows up in their bodies as well as their thoughts.
Background and approach
Her background includes approaches such as somatic work, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-focused methods. These help when emotions feel overwhelming, when relationships are strained, or when past hurts keep coming up. She blends these with client-centred listening and cognitive tools to address unhelpful thinking patterns.
Sylwia also works with issues like grief, midlife shifts, immigration stress, infidelity and substance concerns. Sessions aim to improve daily coping, communication and a clearer sense of purpose. People can expect practical strategies and space to reflect.
Sessions are offered in English and Polish. Sylwia uses video, phone, live chat and text-based formats for online therapy. To begin, a short questionnaire helps match needs and set a plan for sessions.
How somatic and talking therapies work online
Sylwia integrates Somatic Therapy in sessions to help people notice how emotions appear in the body. This can involve simple grounding or breathing practices and noticing physical tension to reduce overwhelm. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to help people name values and take small committed actions toward them, even when feelings are difficult. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps people understand repeated cycles of hurt or disconnection.Finding the right approach is part of working together. The therapist will listen to your concerns and suggest methods that suit your goals and preferences. You and the therapist will try options and adjust the plan so it feels manageable and relevant to your daily life.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face connection from home, phone sessions remove travel time, and live chat or text-based messaging gives shorter, flexible check-ins. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting and other commitments and help maintain continuity between sessions.
