About Ewa
Ewa Szerlich is a counsellor who aims to help people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood, or struggles with parenting. She offers short, focused sessions by video and listens in a calm, non-judgemental way. Her approach suits someone who wants practical conversation and space to reflect on next steps.
She trained at the University of South Wales and holds a BA (First Class) in Counselling and Therapeutic Practice. Ewa also completed a Level 3 Diploma in Social Sciences and additional certificates in trauma work and bereavement counselling.
Background and approach
She has two years of professional experience and has worked with local Mind services and a community counselling centre in Chepstow. Ewa combines person-centred listening with practical tools from cognitive behavioural ideas and mindfulness practice. She draws on emotionally focused and existential ways of looking at relationships and meaning to help clients name what matters to them.
Sessions are collaborative - goals and methods are agreed together rather than imposed. In a session she will offer space to talk, gentle challenge when useful, and simple exercises to try between meetings. She often uses breathwork and mindfulness to help with anxiety and grounding, and will work with themes such as attachment, self-criticism, grief, or life changes.
Sessions are held in English and Polish and run for 45 minutes by video call. Ewa works with adults who want to address parenting concerns, mood or coping difficulties, and those seeking a reflective therapeutic space.

How Ewa’s approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist offers a non-judgemental space where clients steer the conversation and shape their goals, which helps with self-esteem, relationship concerns, and parenting doubts.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at thought patterns and behaviours and uses simple exercises to change unhelpful cycles. It is useful for anxiety, panic, low mood and managing everyday stress.
Mindfulness Therapy introduces practical attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and ease distressing feelings. These practices can be short and easy to use between appointments to support mood and sleep.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ewa will discuss different methods and agree a plan based on the client’s needs, goals and what feels comfortable. This is done together so the pace and tools match the person rather than a fixed programme.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let the session feel like an in-person conversation. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging suit people who prefer writing or want ongoing brief support between appointments. These options make it easier to fit counselling around family, work and daily life.
