Ewa Szerlich , BACP

She is an integrative counsellor working in private practice who offers 45-minute therapeutic counselling sessions via video calls on this platform. Drawing on a personally challenging and transformative life journey, she brings a deep appreciation for the courage it takes to face painful experiences and the possibility of growth that can follow.

Her work is motivated by a belief that confronting difficulties alongside another person can be both frightening and liberating, and she combines professional training with personal insight to support that process. She has undertaken extensive training in a range of counselling skills and methods to help clients explore the issues they want to address and to seek clearer understanding and practical options for change.

Sessions are collaborative — she and the client decide together how to work and what the counselling goals will be. She maintains a warm, friendly demeanour and draws on counselling theory, life experience, and a long-standing mindfulness meditation practice to create a supportive environment for exploration and healing.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a compassionate, non-directive space where the therapist follows the client's pace and perspective. This approach helps people who need a respectful, accepting environment to explore self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. CBT is often used to address anxiety, depression, panic, and patterns that maintain distress by building skills for coping and problem solving.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of thoughts and feelings, supporting emotional regulation and reducing reactivity. It can be particularly helpful for stress, anxiety, and ongoing worries.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and she works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Therapists may draw from different models as the work evolves to tailor the support offered.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provides flexible access to care and can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. These options allow clients to engage from home or elsewhere, maintain continuity of care, and select the format that feels most comfortable for them.
