About Ewa

Counsellor and member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Ewa Polit has seven years of experience and works with issues such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. She also lists LGBT matters, relationship and family concerns, grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting, anger, career matters, bipolar, coaching and ADHD among her focus areas.

Ewa uses a client-centred stance and aims to be goal-focused in sessions. She describes her way of working as integrative, drawing on several methods to suit what a person brings. Sessions often run over longer-term blocks of six months or more when that fits the issue being worked on.

She speaks English and Polish and notes that international clients can be seen. Her credential is BACP, which is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

In practice she often works with trauma-related presentations and complex emotional problems. That can include grief, dissociation, compulsive behaviours and mood or personality difficulties. She also mentions coaching and mentoring as part of her wider work.

Ewa presents herself as non-judgemental and respectful. She says she aims to work collaboratively and to adjust methods to what each person needs. To start, she asks people to use the site process to complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and choose actions that matter to them. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and problems where avoidance is making things worse. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, understanding and supporting a person's own pace of change. It is often used when someone needs a steady, reflective space to talk through problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches specific skills for managing strong emotions and improving how a person copes under stress, which can help with anger, emotional instability and self-regulation.

Choosing an approach is usually a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss different methods and agree a plan that fits the person's problems, goals and preferences. That plan can change as work progresses and as new needs appear.

The profile does not list which session formats are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family or travel. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it possible to continue work with someone when circumstances change. Registered or accredited professionals typically adapt their ways of working so that evidence-based techniques such as ACT, Client-Centred methods and DBT skills can be used effectively in remote sessions.
