Ewa Rudz, BACP

Ewa Rudz draws on client-centred and trauma-focused ways of working to offer calm, practical support for people facing painful relationships and difficult life changes. She keeps sessions straightforward and compassionate, helping people name what feels hard and decide what to try next. Ewa speaks English and Polish and has 17 years of practice in the United Kingdom. BACP indicates her professional registration as supplied.

Her approach begins by listening closely to a person's story. She uses client-centred therapy to follow the person's lead and build trust. When early life events or abuse are an issue, she draws on trauma-focused tools to work through painful memories at a pace that feels manageable.

Ewa also uses elements of psychodynamic and existential thought to look at patterns that repeat in relationships and daily life. Mindfulness techniques are brought in to help with overwhelming feelings such as anxiety, anger or guilt. Together these approaches aim to reduce distress and improve day-to-day coping.

She often helps people dealing with relationship problems, family issues, parenting strain, grief, addiction struggles and mood concerns such as depression or bipolar difficulties. Ewa also supports those wrestling with abandonment, attachment or codependency problems and issues around infidelity, domestic violence, dissociation and shame.

Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps. Conversations include practical strategies, reflective questions and simple mindfulness exercises. Ewa works collaboratively so people can feel steadier and more confident in handling their next steps.

Approaches and how they work online

Client-centred therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of sessions and emphasises empathy and acceptance; it helps people feel heard and decide what matters most to address. Trauma-focused therapy provides structured ways to work with painful memories and reactions so people can reduce their distress and regain a sense of control.

Mindfulness techniques may also be used to help manage overwhelming emotions and improve attention to the present moment. These approaches can suit problems such as anxiety, anger, grief, relationship struggles and the after-effects of abuse.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then tailor methods collaboratively. That means exploring different ways of working and adjusting as needs change over time.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break, live chat is useful for quicker check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and travel while still working with registered or accredited professionals.
