Eva Chmelikova, NCPS

Eva Chmelikova is a counsellor who works from an attachment-informed and client-centred stance. She aims to create a calm space where people feel heard and understood. Eva uses straightforward language and gentle curiosity to help clients talk through loss, trauma and major life changes.

Many people who come to her are facing endings and new beginnings. This can include moving country, relationship breakups, shifts in identity, or long-term stress. Eva helps people find direction again and build clearer self-awareness through conversation and practical steps.

Eva trained with the NCPS, which appears as her listed credential. She has practised counselling for four years and is based in the United Kingdom. Her background includes work with adults and some experience supporting children and young people in other counselling settings.

Her approach is flexible and paced to the individual. Sessions can include talking, mindfulness exercises and creative tools such as art to help people access feelings that are hard to name. Eva notices when starting therapy feels anxious and she works with that as part of the process.

She lists a range of common concerns she supports, including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and parenting strain, caregiver stress and compassion fatigue. Eva also names work around attachment, abandonment, career crossroads, immigration issues and loneliness as areas she often addresses.

Eva welcomes international clients and offers appointments from the UK. People interested in working together are invited to use the service start route and complete the short matching questionnaire to begin the process.

How Eva uses attachment and CBT online

Attachment-informed work focuses on patterns in close relationships. It helps people understand how early experiences affect trust, closeness and separation, and supports changes in how they connect with others. Client-centred counselling puts the person’s experience at the heart of the session, offering empathic listening and space to reflect. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact, and uses practical exercises to test and change unhelpful patterns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Eva will talk with each person about their needs and goals, and together they will decide which approach or mix of approaches fits best. She adapts pacing and tools to what is most useful for the individual.

If you are considering online work, please confirm the current session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel time or allowing short check-ins during a lunch break. Different approaches translate well to remote settings - reflective conversation, mindfulness exercises and CBT homework can all be carried out online when agreed with the therapist. Registered or accredited professionals can help you weigh practicalities so sessions work around daily life.
