How Ewa works

She has worked at local Mind services and currently practises at Basecamp, Chepstow. Sessions are collaborative. Ewa listens for what feels most urgent, then works with the person to set clear counselling goals.

She uses elements from client-centred work, cognitive behavioural ideas, emotionally-focused methods, existential thinking and mindfulness to shape each session. Practical problems Ewa often helps people with include panic and mood difficulties, trouble sleeping, coping with life changes, grief, trauma and abuse, and struggles around eating and self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with anger, compassion fatigue, ADHD-related concerns and relationship communication problems.

Ewa has attended extra training in trauma work, bereavement and breathwork, and she uses inner-critic and relational-depth practices when helpful. Together with the client she decides which techniques to try and adapts them over time to fit the person’s pace and goals.

How Ewa adapts therapeutic approaches online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on empathetic listening and helping people find their own answers. Online sessions using this approach give space for the client to talk and for the counsellor to reflect back what matters most. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns; online CBT can include homework, thought records and short behavioural experiments between sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people understand and work with strong emotions; in an online setting this often means naming emotions, tracking bodily responses and trying new ways of expressing feelings safely.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Ewa will discuss different methods and try things collaboratively, adjusting techniques to match the client's goals and pace. The decision about which approach to use usually evolves over a few sessions rather than being fixed from the start.

Online therapy here is offered by registered or accredited professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging helps people who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to fit counselling around work, family and other commitments while keeping sessions consistent and focused.

A practical next step

Write down two things you would want to be different in six months. That is the most useful thing to bring to a first session, whoever it is with. If you would rather start now than keep reading, online sessions are the quickest route.
