Eva Chmelikova

Eva Chmelikova is a counsellor who centres her work on building a trusting therapeutic relationship. She welcomes people who feel lost after big life changes, those carrying grief, and anyone worn down by long-term stress. Eva works in English and is based in the United Kingdom.

Eva uses practical, person-focused methods to help people find direction. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns, client-centred work to follow each person's pace, and cognitive behavioural techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and habits. She also brings existential and Jungian perspectives when exploring meaning and identity.

Her practice includes support for grief and hospice and end-of-life counselling, as well as concerns like anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and compassion fatigue. She also helps with parenting stresses, career uncertainty, ADHD, issues around identity and LGBT concerns, and family-of-origin problems.

For people who struggle to talk about feelings, Eva can include art tools and mindfulness exercises in sessions. She has four years' experience working in counselling settings that included children and young people, and now focuses on adults in private practice. Sessions aim to move at a comfortable pace and to make emotional material easier to manage.

If someone is nervous about starting therapy, Eva acknowledges that apprehension and takes time to settle the process. She invites people to explore next steps together and to work toward clearer direction and renewed self-awareness.

How Eva's approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people notice how past bonds affect current feelings and reactions. It can be useful for relationship wounds, abandonment concerns and attachment issues. Client-centred therapy places the person's experience at the heart of sessions and focuses on being heard and understood; it supports people who need a steady, non-directive space to process grief or life changes. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) examines thoughts and behaviours and offers practical strategies to reduce anxiety, depression and unhelpful coping habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The counsellor will work together with each person to choose or blend methods that fit their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative stance means plans can change as people learn more about what helps.

The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. It can also let someone use activities like mindfulness or art tools during a session in their own setting. In any case, practical arrangements and the most suitable way of working are agreed together at intake.
