Ewa Szerlich, BACP

Ewa Szerlich is an integrative counsellor working in private practice who also offers 45-minute therapeutic counselling sessions via video calls. She draws on a mix of professional training and personal experience to support people facing stressful life changes, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, grief, and challenges such as eating or sleeping problems and parenting concerns. Ewa brings a warm, friendly demeanour and a long-standing mindfulness meditation practice to her work, creating a calm and attentive environment in which clients can explore difficult emotions and patterns.

Her approach is informed by a range of clinical methods, including client-centred listening, cognitive-behavioral techniques, emotionally-focused perspectives, existential ideas, and mindfulness-based practices. She has completed a 1st Class BA Degree in Counselling and Therapeutic Practice from the University of South Wales and a Level 3 Diploma in Social Sciences, and she is a member of BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Ewa has practical experience working with organisations such as Mind Monmouthshire and Mind Neath Port Talbot and she currently works as a counsellor at Basecamp in Chepstow. Additional training includes a certificate in working with trauma and the living body and counselling for loss and bereavement, along with focused study in areas such as inner critic work, relational depth, breathwork for trauma, and pluralistic approaches to grief.

In collaboration with each person she sees, Ewa explores presenting concerns and shapes the counselling process to match individual goals. She integrates counselling skills, theory, and lived experience to support clients in developing insight, coping strategies, and a clearer sense of direction.
