About Ewa

Ewa Polit is a BACP-registered counsellor and clinical psychologist with seven years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, low self-esteem, relationship strain and codependency concerns. She also supports people dealing with grief, parenting pressures, ADHD and career stress. Sessions are delivered in English and Polish and she accepts international clients.

Her style is primarily client-centred and goal-focused. She often works in longer term therapy of six months or more. In the room she uses practical conversations alongside therapeutic techniques to help people notice patterns and try new ways of relating to themselves and others.

Ewa draws on several approaches to fit what each person needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and make small changes. She applies Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. When trauma is central, she may use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing as part of treatment.

She describes her work as integrative, blending psychodynamic ideas, cognitive strategies and mindfulness practices. That mix lets her address both present-day coping and deeper relationship or attachment themes. She also brings coaching skills when clients want practical steps for life changes or career decisions.

Ewa says the therapeutic relationship matters and that she treats clients as experts on their own lives. If someone is unsure about how to begin, the first step is a short matching questionnaire and scheduling an initial session through the online therapy options button.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Ewa commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy as part of her work. ACT helps people identify personal values and take small, manageable steps that match those values. DBT provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions and reducing impulsive reactions, which is useful when stress or relationship patterns feel overwhelming.

She also draws on Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing for clients where trauma memories are a central problem. EMDR aims to reduce the intensity of distressing memories so daily life is less affected. These approaches are offered as part of a collaborative process where the therapist and client agree what to try based on needs, goals and preferences.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing short check-ins during work breaks. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the available formats before booking. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists who use these approaches, often adapt exercises and DBT skills for remote sessions so people can practise between meetings.
