Ewa Szerlich , BACP

Ewa Szerlich is an integrative counsellor working in private practice in the United Kingdom who also offers 45-minute therapeutic counselling sessions via video calls. She draws on a personal history of challenging and transformative experiences, and this perspective informs a compassionate, nonjudgmental approach to supporting people through emotional and mental difficulties. Ewa believes that facing painful experiences can be both frightening and liberating, and that doing so in the presence of another person often helps clients move toward greater understanding and positive change.

Her practice blends formal training with lived experience and a long-standing mindfulness meditation practice. She has a 1st Class BA Degree in Counselling and Therapeutic Practice from the University of South Wales and a Level 3 Diploma in Social Sciences. Her work history includes roles at Mind Monmouthshire and Mind Neath Port Talbot, and she currently provides counselling at Basecamp, Chepstow. Additional training includes a certificate in working with trauma and the living body and training in counselling for loss and bereavement.

Ewa uses a range of counselling skills and methods to explore the issues clients bring, offering person-centered listening alongside structured techniques when helpful. Her specialties include stress, anxiety, anger, self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, eating and sleeping issues, parenting challenges, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. She also focuses on attachment and abandonment issues, communication and control difficulties, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, impulsivity, isolation and loneliness, life purpose and midlife transition, financial concerns, mood disorders and panic. Ewa holds BACP credentials - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and she collaborates with each client to set counselling goals and decide how best to work together.
