Eva Chmelikova, NCPS

Eva Chmelikova offers a warm, person-centred approach that helps people feel heard and seen. She draws on attachment-based ideas and practical techniques to help people find more direction after loss, trauma or major life change.

She works in plain language and keeps sessions straightforward. Many clients come with long-term stress, anxiety, depression or a sense of disconnection. Eva helps them name what matters, manage difficult feelings and take small steps towards change.

Eva has four years of counselling experience in the United Kingdom and is registered with NCPS. Her background includes work with adults and some experience supporting children and young people in other counselling settings.

Her practice focuses on grief, relationship difficulties, parenting strain, identity shifts and immigration-related concerns. She also supports people facing burnout, compassion fatigue, attachment wounds and issues such as abandonment, control and communication problems.

Therapy draws on client-centred listening, elements of cognitive behavioural work and exploration of meaning. Sessions can include mindfulness and creative tools when useful, for example simple art exercises to help express hard feelings.

Eva aims to move at a pace that feels manageable. She helps clients set practical goals, build coping strategies and make clearer choices about relationships, work and wellbeing.

How attachment and client-centred approaches work online

Eva draws on attachment-based ideas to help people understand how early bonds affect current relationships. This approach looks at patterns of connection and helps people find different ways of relating when old patterns cause pain.

She also uses client-centred therapy, which focuses on listening and reflecting rather than directing. That style helps people explore their values and priorities at their own pace. Cognitive behavioural techniques are added when useful to build specific skills for managing anxiety, low mood and unhelpful thinking habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and try different methods based on the person’s needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where techniques are tailored to what helps most in practice.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people work face-to-face from wherever they are, while phone sessions can be quicker check-ins or suit lower bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for shorter reflections, ongoing check-ins or when writing helps organise thoughts. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments.
