Ewa Polit, BACP

Ewa Polit is a counsellor with seven years' experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem and relationship concerns. She also supports those facing grief, parenting strain, identity and intimacy-related issues, and challenges such as ADHD, bipolar mood concerns and compassion fatigue. Ewa works in English and Polish and accepts international clients.

Her style is warm and direct. She follows a client-centred approach and works collaboratively to set clear goals. Sessions often involve talking things through, building practical coping skills and practising new ways of responding to difficult feelings.

Ewa draws on a range of approaches to tailor therapy to each person. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters to them and take value-based steps. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills are used when emotional regulation and distress tolerance are needed. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing may be part of work addressing traumatic memories.

She is an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, recorded as BACP, and continues professional development in trauma-informed care. In addition to psychotherapy she offers mentoring and life coaching elements when that fits a person's goals.

Many clients choose longer-term work of six months or more, but the focus and pace are always discussed together. Ewa aims to build a respectful, non-judgemental relationship so people can explore painful topics and try out new ways of living.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and is often useful for anxiety, low mood and life transitions.

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for managing strong emotions and tolerating distress. These skills include grounding, breathing and strategies to reduce impulsive reactions, which can be useful when emotional regulation is a priority.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used with traumatic memories to reduce their emotional intensity and the distress they cause. It is typically practised within a paced trauma-focused plan when addressing past events.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review a person's needs, goals and preferences and suggest what to try first. Decisions about methods and pacing are made collaboratively and can change as progress is made.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the profile does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel time and use shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow work to continue across borders for international clients, while practical arrangements such as timing and session length are agreed together.
