Ewa Szerlich

Ewa Szerlich is an integrative counsellor working in private practice who offers 45-minute therapeutic counselling sessions via video calls on this platform.

She draws on a personally challenging and transformative life journey and is motivated by people’s willingness to face painful experiences and seek a better quality of life. Ewa believes that confronting difficult emotions can be frightening and yet deeply freeing, particularly when done with the support of another person, and this belief guides her work as a counsellor and psychotherapist.

Ewa commits her professional knowledge, skills and personal qualities to support clients in exploring the issues they bring and looking for understanding and solutions. She has undertaken wide-ranging training in counselling skills and therapeutic methods and works collaboratively with each person to decide how to work together and to define counselling goals.

In practice she brings a warm, friendly demeanour and bases her approach on established counselling theory and skills alongside her own life experience and a long-standing mindfulness meditation practice.

Ewa holds a 1st Class BA Degree in Counselling and Therapeutic Practice from the University of South Wales and a Level 3 Diploma in Social Sciences. She has two years of experience and has worked as a counsellor at Mind Monmouthshire and Mind Neath Port Talbot; she is currently working as a counsellor at Basecamp, Chepstow.

Her additional training includes a Certificate in working with trauma and the living body, counselling for loss and bereavement, inner critic work, relational depth, change from the existential therapy perspective, breathwork and trauma within the Person-Centred approach, anxiety from the existential perspective, a single-session therapy mindset for depression, and loss and grief from a pluralistic perspective, among other trainings.
