About Ewa
Ewa Polit is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. She also supports those facing relationship strains, grief, parenting challenges, work pressures and issues around self‑esteem and identity. She speaks English and Polish and has seven years of experience in counselling and coaching.
She uses a person‑centred and goal‑focused style, inviting people to set clear aims and work steadily towards them. Motivational Interviewing features in her approach alongside methods that encourage emotional awareness and practical coping skills. Sessions tend to explore feelings, identify patterns and try small changes that can make daily life easier.
Her background includes membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and she combines clinical psychology perspectives with trauma work and life coaching. This mix means she can bring several ways of looking at a problem, then agree with the client which to try first.
Ewa often works over longer therapy periods of six months or more when deeper change is the aim. She emphasises empathy, respect and a non‑judgemental stance, and treats each person as the expert on their own life while offering guidance and practical tools.
She welcomes conversations about specific needs and will help people decide on realistic next steps. If someone prefers sessions in Polish, she can work in that language as well as English.

Approaches you might use in online sessions
Motivational Interviewing helps people find and strengthen their own reasons for change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to boost motivation and clarify next steps, which can be useful for goals like managing mood, improving routines or reducing risky behaviours.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match a person's values. It works well for anxiety, stress, low mood and life transitions by teaching practical ways to act despite uncomfortable emotions.
Client‑Centred Therapy puts the person at the heart of the work. The therapist offers empathy, acceptance and gentle guidance so the client can explore feelings and make their own choices about change.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist discusses options with each person and together they decide which methods to try based on needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can change over time as progress is made.
If you are thinking about online work, check the session formats offered before booking as these are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check‑ins when needed. Registered and accredited professionals often use online work to maintain continuity of care and to help people balance therapy with their everyday life. -
