About Ewa
Ewa Szerlich is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and life changes. She uses a gentle, grounded style and offers sessions in English and Polish. Her practice includes 45-minute video sessions and a range of online formats to fit busy lives.
Her work blends body-based awareness with talking therapy. She draws on Somatic approaches alongside client-centred listening and cognitive techniques. Sessions often include attention to breath and bodily sensations as well as exploring thoughts and emotions.
Background and approach
Ewa trained with a first class BA in Counselling and Therapeutic Practice from the University of South Wales and holds a Level 3 Diploma in Social Sciences. She is registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has worked as a counsellor for Mind Monmouthshire, Mind Neath Port Talbot and currently at Basecamp in Chepstow.
Her background includes work on loss and bereavement and trauma-related somatic practices. People come to her for support with grief, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, sleep and eating issues, or feelings of isolation and shame. In sessions she aims to build a steady therapeutic relationship and to agree clear goals together.
Ewa combines counselling theory with personal mindfulness practice and practical breathwork. She invites clients to decide how they want to work and adapts her approach to what feels most useful in the moment.
How somatic and talking approaches work online
Somatic work helps people notice bodily sensations and simple physical cues that link to emotions and stress. In practice this might mean gentle breath awareness or grounding exercises alongside discussion, which can be useful for anxiety, trauma-related tension and sleep problems.Client-Centred Therapy focuses on warm, non-judgemental listening and putting the person's experience at the centre. It helps when someone needs a steady, accepting space to sort through difficult feelings and decisions.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and aims to develop practical strategies to reduce panic, low mood or unhelpful thinking patterns. Short exercises and thought records are examples of tools that might be used.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. That collaborative process allows adjustments as issues change or new needs appear.
Online therapy here is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to continue work when travel or daily life makes face-to-face meetings difficult. Therapists provide practical guidance and exercises that can be used between sessions, making online therapy flexible and accessible.
