Ewa Polit, BACP

Ewa Polit is a counsellor with seven years' experience who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and major life changes. She also supports those facing grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, career questions, ADHD and compassion fatigue. Ewa works with people who identify as LGBT and with a wide range of emotional and behavioural issues.

Ewa uses a client-centred, goal-focused style. She listens for what matters most to each person and helps them set practical steps forward. Sessions often look at coping skills, emotion regulation and ways to restore a sense of control after difficult events.

Her practice draws on a mixture of approaches. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them. Dialectical Behavior Therapy provides tools for managing strong emotions. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is used when trauma memories are getting in the way of daily life.

Ewa is an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP. She also works as a mentor coach and life coach, and continues professional development in trauma-related courses. She commonly works in longer-term therapy courses of six months or more.

She aims to create a respectful, non-judgemental space where clients feel heard. Ewa sees each person as the expert on their own life and works collaboratively to uncover practical paths to change.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people identify their values and take small, meaningful steps towards them while learning to notice painful thoughts without getting stuck. It is useful for anxiety, depression and life changes. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) focuses on reducing the intensity of traumatic memories so they interfere less with daily functioning; it is commonly used when past events continue to cause strong reactions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills for managing overwhelming emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which helps with self-regulation and relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose or combine methods that match their needs, goals and preferences rather than relying on a single technique from the start.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving and travel by removing commute time. It also allows for shorter check-ins when needed, and options that do not require being on camera if that suits the client better. Registered and accredited professionals can adapt EMDR, ACT and DBT skills for remote sessions where appropriate, and will discuss the practical plan for how techniques will be used online.
