Ewa Szerlich, BACP

Ewa Szerlich is an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist who works in private practice and offers 45-minute therapeutic counselling sessions via video calls on this platform. She brings a warm, friendly manner to her work and is motivated by a deep respect for people who face painful or difficult life experiences and seek to improve their well-being. Ewa believes that confronting challenges can feel both frightening and liberating, and she supports clients by combining professional skills with genuine human presence to explore change and healing.

Ewa holds a 1st Class BA Degree in Counselling and Therapeutic Practice from the University of South Wales and a Level 3 Diploma in Social Sciences. She is affiliated with BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - a national professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. Her practice has been informed by roles at Mind Monmouthshire and Mind Neath Port Talbot, and she currently works at Basecamp, Chepstow. Additional training includes a certificate in working with trauma and the living body and counselling for loss and bereavement, alongside focused development in areas such as inner critic work, relational depth, breathwork, and existential approaches to anxiety and change.

Ewa draws on a range of counselling skills, theory, and her long-standing mindfulness meditation practice to tailor therapy to each person. She works collaboratively with clients to identify goals and agree on a way of working that fits their needs. Ewa provides therapy in English and Polish for people based in the United Kingdom.

Therapeutic approaches and online care with Ewa

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where the client leads the pace and direction of sessions. This approach helps people who want to explore self-understanding, build self-esteem, or work through difficult life decisions by emphasizing empathy and acceptance.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - is a practical, present-focused method that examines connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. It is commonly used to address anxiety, low mood, unhelpful thinking patterns, and everyday coping challenges by developing skills to reframe thoughts and try new responses.

Mindfulness Therapy involves cultivating present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of experience. It supports people dealing with stress, persistent worry, or emotional overwhelm by teaching simple attention and breathing practices that can be used in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Ewa works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions over time and invites feedback so the partnership evolves in a way that feels helpful.

Online therapy with Ewa uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These options allow people to engage from home, fit sessions around work or caregiving responsibilities, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable, while still working with licensed professionals and therapists who guide the therapeutic work.
