Eva Chmelikova

Eva Chmelikova is a counsellor who focuses on creating a space where people feel heard and respected. She works with adults facing loss, trauma and big life changes. She often supports people who are trying to find direction after long-term stress or a disconnection from themselves.

Her approach centres on building a strong therapeutic relationship. She uses attachment-based and client-centred ideas to help people feel understood. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and mindfulness techniques are also drawn on when useful.

Eva has practised counselling for four years in the United Kingdom and holds the NCPS credential. Her background includes work with children and young people in other counselling settings, which informs how she adapts sessions to different needs.

Sessions can include conversational work alongside creative tools such as art exercises when that feels helpful. These tools are used to access emotions and to make sense of difficult memories or current worries. Eva aims to move at a pace that feels comfortable for each person.

She helps people address a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, grief, identity shifts, parenting strain and compassion fatigue. She also works with issues such as attachment and abandonment, family-of-origin problems, immigration stress and feelings of isolation.

If someone is nervous about starting counselling, Eva offers a calm, steady presence and practical ways to manage overwhelming feelings while exploring change and healing.

How attachment and CBT inform online counselling

Eva commonly uses attachment-based work to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This can help when someone struggles with trust, abandonment or repeating relationship patterns. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s pace so they can feel heard and decide what matters most to them.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, used alongside these approaches, helps break larger worries into small, manageable steps and practical actions. This can be useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. The therapist will discuss which of these approaches might suit a person and adapt methods as sessions progress in a collaborative way.

Finding the right fit is part of the work. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences and how interventions feel in practice. Together they will choose techniques that match the person’s needs and adjust as progress is made.

The practical benefits of online work should be confirmed before booking, as session formats are not specified here. Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and reduce travel time. It can also allow for shorter check-ins or sessions that suit a particular routine, and can let people use art or mindfulness practices from their usual surroundings while working through issues.
