About Eva

Eva Vass works on stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and related concerns using a person-centred, client-led style. She is an individual member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years' experience.

Eva describes her main way of working as person-centred. She focuses on listening and responding to what is unspoken, and on building a clear, respectful therapeutic relationship with boundaries. Sessions are led by the client and the counsellor keeps a non-directive stance while drawing on other approaches when helpful.

She integrates elements from psychodynamic work to look at life events, attachment patterns and material that may come from the subconscious. She may also use cognitive behavioural techniques to help people notice unhelpful thinking and see links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour.

Her background includes a level 4 diploma in therapeutic counselling and attendance at workshops on safeguarding children and young people, LGBTQ terminology and pronouns, supporting young people with eating disorders, a certificate in online and telephone counselling, and gender and sexuality topics. She is registered with the BACP and works to their Code of Ethics.

Eva has experience working with both young people and adults on matters such as anxiety, depression, self-harm, low self-esteem, neurodiversity, suicidal ideation, transgender issues, childhood trauma, codependency, eating disorders and relationship concerns.

When someone chooses to work with her she aims to help them explore feelings and thoughts, understand roots of experience and increase awareness of how they relate to themselves and others.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Eva draws mainly on person-centred work and attachment-focused ideas. Person-centred counselling means the counsellor listens closely, follows what the client brings, and keeps a non-directive stance to help the client reflect on feelings and choices. Attachment-focused work looks at patterns in close relationships and can help with issues such as relationship difficulty, trust and intimacy.

She also uses elements of Emotionally-Focused Therapy, which focuses on emotional experience in the moment and on changing patterns in important relationships. This approach can be useful for people wanting to understand how emotions shape their reactions and connections with others.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The counsellor will work with the client to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative decision can be reviewed as therapy progresses to make sure it remains helpful.

Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time, which can make it easier to keep regular appointments. The biography indicates training in online and telephone counselling, but specific session formats should be confirmed before booking. Discussing scheduling, session length and any practical arrangements is part of the initial planning.
