About Eva

Eva Chmelikova is an NCPS counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, grief, depression, parenting pressures, relationship difficulties and life changes. Sessions address concerns such as trauma and abuse, identity shifts, and the strain of caregiving or compassion fatigue.

Eva often meets people who feel stuck after a big change - a move, a breakup, or a shift in how they see themselves. She helps them talk through what feels confusing and to find practical next steps. Conversations can include attention to attachment patterns and how past relationships shape present ones.

Her approach draws on client-centred and attachment-based ideas. That means sessions pay attention to the person in front of her, and to how their close relationships affect current problems. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and try small behaviour changes.

Eva has worked in settings that included adults and young people, and she mentions using play tools and mindfulness sometimes when appropriate. She also lists existential and Jungian perspectives as influences, which she brings into sessions as ways to talk about meaning, values and inner symbols.

She accepts international clients and runs a subscription-style arrangement for sessions that can be cancelled at any time. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session using the online booking flow.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships. In practice this looks at how early bonds and current relationships influence feelings of trust, abandonment or control, and it can help with parenting stress and repeated conflict. Client-centred work gives the person space to tell their story while the counsellor follows their pace and priorities. This approach helps when someone needs to make sense of big life changes or intense emotions. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses simple exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and try practical changes that reduce anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels useful, and then agree a way forward together. That collaboration shapes whether sessions lean more on attachment thinking, CBT tasks, or conversational client-centred work.

Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people choose quieter surroundings, switch off their camera if they prefer, or schedule meetings around childcare or work commitments. Registered or accredited professionals and counsellors use online work to help people manage stress, parenting strain, grief and relationship concerns without needing to attend in person.
