About Ewa

Ewa Polit is a counsellor and psychologist with seven years of experience. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and combines coaching with psychotherapy work. She supports adults facing relationship strain, parenting pressures, stress, anxiety, trauma and changes in life.

She keeps a client-centred, goal-focused stance in sessions. Conversations tend to be practical and directed, with attention to what a person wants to change. She often works in longer-term therapy over six months or more when that helps to address deeper patterns.

Her practice draws on a mix of approaches. That includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR). She also uses psychodynamic and narrative ideas when they suit the concerns brought in.

Ewa describes herself as an open-minded, non-judgmental practitioner. In sessions she aims to balance short-term goals and longer-term exploration. That can mean skills work for emotional regulation paired with discussion about relationship patterns and attachment.

Her experience covers trauma-related difficulties, mood and anxiety conditions, self-esteem and body-image concerns, grief, and parenting-related stress. She also lists additional focus areas such as abandonment and attachment issues, blended family matters, communication problems and caregiver stress.

Sessions are conducted in English and Polish. Prospective clients are invited to follow the provider's steps for booking, complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange an initial appointment to discuss goals and practical arrangements.

How sessions work

Approaches used in remote sessions and how they help

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and practise small, workable actions that align with those values. It is often used when someone feels stuck by anxiety, low mood or uncertainty about life choices.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on emotional patterns and attachment-related responses in relationships. It can help people understand recurring hurt or closeness issues and reduce intense emotional reactivity.

Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that works with distressing memories and their emotional impact. It is commonly used for post-traumatic stress and other trauma-related symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss these methods and agree on a plan based on the client’s needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative decision can change over time if different methods are needed.

For practical arrangements, please confirm current session formats before booking. The main benefit of remote sessions is fitting therapeutic work into everyday life - shorter check-ins during a busy week, appointments that avoid travel, and options that suit different schedules. A first session is used to set goals and decide which approach and practical setup will work best for the person.
