Ewa Polit, BACP

Ewa Polit is a psychotherapist who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports people facing relationship strain, grief, caregiving stress, parenting challenges and identity concerns such as LGBT issues. Ewa has seven years of experience and works in English and Polish.

Ewa blends practical conversation with focused therapeutic tools. Sessions aim to clarify what matters to the person and build small, manageable steps toward those goals. She describes her style as client-centred and goal-oriented, and often works with people in longer term therapy lasting six months or more.

Her practice draws on a range of well-known methods. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people live by their values, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy to teach emotion regulation skills, and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing for trauma work when appropriate. She also integrates mindfulness and narrative approaches when these fit a person’s needs.

Ewa holds BACP accreditation with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and continues professional development in psychotraumatology and psychotherapy. She is a certified clinical trauma professional practitioner and works under regular supervision.

People can expect a respectful, non-judgemental atmosphere where their experience guides the work. Ewa aims to help people reconnect with their strengths and take concrete steps toward steadying mood, improving communication, and handling life changes.

Approaches to trauma, values and emotion regulation online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and act in line with what matters to them. It can help when someone feels stuck by anxiety, depression or life changes. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication. It is useful for people who want clearer ways to handle strong feelings and reduce impulsive reactions. Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that aims to reduce the impact of distressing memories through guided processing when appropriate.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then try methods together in a collaborative way. That means plans can change as progress is made or needs shift.

Many people find online therapy helps fit counselling into a busy life. It can make appointments easier to reach across distances and reduce travel time. Online sessions also allow for shorter check-ins between longer meetings and can make scheduling around work or caregiving responsibilities simpler.
