Ewa Szerlich , BACP

Ewa Szerlich is an integrative counsellor who brings a blend of professional training and personal life experience to her practice. She holds a BACP credential, indicating membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and completed a 1st Class BA Degree in Counselling and Therapeutic Practice from the University of South Wales as well as a Level 3 Diploma in Social Sciences. Her work draws on extensive training in trauma-informed methods, bereavement counselling, breathwork, and inner critic and relational depth work, among other approaches.

Ewa has worked with organisations such as Mind Monmouthshire and Mind Neath Port Talbot and is currently working as a counsellor at Basecamp, Chepstow. She has provided 45-minute therapeutic counselling sessions via video calls and integrates mindfulness meditation into her therapeutic stance, using both counselling theory and lived experience to support clients as they face difficult emotions and life changes.

Clients can expect a collaborative process in which goals and the style of work are decided together. Ewa’s manner is warm and approachable, and she uses a range of methods to explore issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship and attachment concerns, trauma and grief, parenting and compassion fatigue, ADHD-related challenges, and difficulties with self-esteem, anger, eating and sleep. Her practice emphasises understanding, exploration, and practical ways to seek change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, non-judgmental therapeutic relationship in which the client’s experience guides the work. It helps people explore their feelings and find their own solutions to issues such as relationship difficulties, identity questions, and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It is commonly used for managing anxiety, depression, panic, and symptoms that interfere with daily functioning by teaching strategies for coping and problem solving.

Mindfulness Therapy encourages present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of emotions and bodily sensations. It can support people struggling with stress, rumination, and emotional regulation by cultivating calm attention and self-compassion.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Ewa works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to tailor methods to each person’s needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as the work unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility and practical access to support through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, maintain continuity when routines change, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for the individual.
