About Eva

Eva Chmelikova is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has four years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, depression and life changes. Her practice also addresses issues such as parenting strain, ADHD, compassion fatigue and guilt and shame.

She often supports people after loss, trauma or big transitions. This can include moving country, ending a relationship, changes in identity or shifts in how relationships work. Clients commonly come when long-term stress or a sense of disconnection has left them unsure about next steps.

Sessions draw on attachment-based and client-centred ideas to help people feel heard and to explore relational patterns. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to identify unhelpful thinking and to try different ways of responding to everyday problems. Jungian and existential ideas are brought in where exploring meaning and inner images helps make sense of difficult feelings.

Eva can integrate simple mindfulness exercises and art tools when they suit a person’s preferences. These methods are used to access emotions and to practise new ways of coping between sessions. She keeps sessions paced to what feels doable for the individual, recognising that starting counselling can cause anxiety.

Her background includes work with children and young people in counselling settings, though her current practice focuses on adults. She accepts international clients and conducts work in English. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Eva works with attachment-based therapy to look at how early and current relationships shape feelings and reactions. This approach helps when trust, abandonment concerns or patterns with partners and carers are causing distress. Client-centred therapy is also a core part of her practice and focuses on listening, reflecting and helping people clarify what matters to them in their lives.

She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and to try practical changes in thinking and behaviour. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood and for learning new coping steps between sessions. Choosing which approach to focus on is a collaborative process; the therapist and client will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then adjust the way they work together over time.

The practicalities of online work should be confirmed before booking since session formats are not specified here. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy around daily life - they can be shorter to fit a lunch break, easier to join when travel is difficult, or done without video if that feels better. Registered or accredited professionals can help clients decide how to shape sessions so they fit with everyday routines and therapeutic aims.
