Ewa Polit, BACP

Ewa Polit is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and difficulties with self-esteem. She also supports those dealing with grief, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strains, career concerns, and living with long-term health challenges. Sessions are available in English and Polish and she works with clients across the United Kingdom and internationally.

She describes her approach as client-centred and goal-focused, and often works over longer periods of six months or more. Ewa draws on a range of therapeutic methods to suit each person’s needs, combining person-centred ways of working with techniques from therapies such as EMDR and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. This flexible use of methods aims to make sessions practical and relevant to daily life.

Over seven years she has worked as a counsellor, psychotraumatologist and psychologist, and she holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Her background includes coaching and mentoring as well as therapeutic practice, so she often blends support for immediate goals with exploration of longer-term change.

In a typical session she focuses on clear goals, gentle listening and developing skills for coping with strong emotions. She encourages people to name what matters to them, and to try simple steps between sessions. The emphasis is on collaboration - deciding together what will be most helpful.

People who want to begin can expect straightforward initial steps, a mix of practical strategies and reflective work, and support in managing symptoms linked to trauma, mood, anxiety or adjustment. Ewa aims to help clients reconnect with their strengths and move towards better daily functioning.

How specific therapies translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the centre of sessions and emphasises empathetic listening and acceptance. Online sessions using this approach focus on building a trusting relationship and following what matters most to the client, whether that is emotional support or problem solving.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values. Delivered online, ACT can teach simple exercises for defusion, mindfulness and values-based planning that clients practise between sessions to manage anxiety, depression or health-related distress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. That might mean starting with practical skills and later integrating trauma-focused work, or adapting techniques to suit what the client finds most helpful.

Please confirm the current session options before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people use exercises and worksheets in their own time so work done in sessions can carry on between meetings.
