Eva Vass, BACP

Eva Vass uses a person-centred way of working that focuses on listening and presence. She creates a calm space where people can explore thoughts and feelings without being rushed. Eva aims to help clients notice patterns in how they relate to themselves and others and to build more self-kindness.

Her approach is rooted in empathy and respect. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at early relationship patterns and how these shape current reactions. Emotionally focused ways of working are used when feelings need to be identified and understood. Mindfulness skills are offered to help ground strong emotions in day-to-day life.

Eva has a level 4 diploma in therapeutic counselling and is an individual member of BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has attended workshops on safeguarding children and young people, LGBTQ terminology and pronouns, supporting young people with eating disorders, online and telephone counselling, and gender and sexuality.

With three years of practice experience, Eva has worked with adults and young people around anxiety, depression, self-harm, low self-esteem and neurodiversity. She also has experience with grief, trauma and issues connected to gender and sexuality.

Sessions invite clients to lead, while Eva offers careful reflection and gentle challenge when needed. Her style is non-directive and collaborative, aiming to help people make sense of patterns and find ways to cope with life changes. She accepts enquiries from people in the United Kingdom and internationally and works in English.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online work

Eva often combines attachment-based and client-centred ways of working. Attachment-based work looks at early relationship patterns to understand current reactions and helps when trust or closeness feels difficult. Client-centred counselling focuses on being present and listening without judgement, giving people space to make sense of their feelings at their own pace.

Finding the right approach is a shared task. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. This happens collaboratively, with room to try different approaches and adjust as understanding grows.

Online sessions come as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video lets people read facial cues and use visual connection. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit shorter updates, reflective notes or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, family and travel while keeping the focus on building understanding and emotional change.
