Ewa Szerlich offers straightforward, empathic counselling for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood, or changes in their life. She helps clients talk through worries about relationships, sleep, eating, anger and self-esteem. Sessions are delivered in English and Polish and last 45 minutes by video call.

Ewa works from a person-centred stance, focusing on what matters most to each client. She also uses practical tools from cognitive behavioural therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and patterns.

Background and approach

Emotionally-focused and existential ideas inform her way of looking at relationship strain, meaning and loss. Her route into counselling began with a first-class Bachelor of Arts degree in Counselling and Therapeutic Practice from the University of South Wales. She also holds a Level 3 Diploma in Social Sciences and has training in trauma work and bereavement support.

Ewa has worked as a counsellor with local Mind branches and currently practises at Basecamp, Chepstow. That experience has shaped a calm, grounded style and an emphasis on listening before offering techniques. In sessions she blends formal skills with lived experience and a long-standing mindfulness meditation practice.

Together with the client she agrees goals and the way of working, adapting as needs change. People come to her for help with grief, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, panic attacks, ADHD-related challenges and midlife or financial worries. She aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space to make steady progress.

How Ewa's approaches work online

Client-centred therapy places the client at the heart of the process. The counsellor listens closely and helps people find their own solutions, which suits those feeling stuck or unsure where to begin. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and habits and trying small practical changes to reduce anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right approach is shared work. Ewa will discuss goals and preferences and offer ways of working that fit the person's needs. Together they can mix listening, practical exercises and mindfulness to see what helps most.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, giving flexibility around work, childcare and travel. Video calls allow face-to-face dialogue and visual cues, phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited, and shorter live chat or messaging can suit quick check-ins or reflective writing between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and to fit meetings into a busy life.
