About Eva
Counsellor and individual member of BACP, Eva Vass has three years' experience working with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, self esteem and depression. She also lists LGBT concerns, family and parenting matters, grief, intimacy issues, eating difficulties, anger, career questions, life changes and ADHD among her focus areas.
Eva works in a person-centred way. She aims to listen without rushing to fix things and to respond from a deeper level of understanding. Sessions are shaped by the person in front of her rather than a set script. Eva can draw on psychodynamic ideas to look at attachment patterns and past events that still affect day-to-day feelings.
She also uses elements of cognitive behavioural approaches when it helps to map connections between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. Emotionally-Focused Therapy and attachment-based ideas appear in her practice when the work is about relationships and emotional bonds. Mindfulness ideas are used to help people notice how they feel in the moment.
Eva holds a level 4 diploma in therapeutic counselling and follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy code of ethics. She has completed courses in online and telephone counselling, safeguarding children and young people, LGBTQ terminology and pronouns, and working with eating problems.
Her background includes work with young people and adults. That experience covers anxiety, depression, self-harm, low self esteem, neurodiversity, suicidal thinking, transgender issues, childhood trauma, codependency, eating disorders and relationship difficulties.

How her attachment and person-centred approaches work online
Eva uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect present feelings and patterns. This approach helps when the main concern is about bonds, closeness, abandonment or how someone reacts in relationships. She works person-centred by following the client's lead and offering deep, listening presence so people can say what matters most to them.Emotionally-Focused Therapy aims to name and shift patterns in close relationships and the feelings that keep them repeating. Mindfulness techniques are used to bring attention to bodily sensations and present emotions so someone can respond rather than react. Together these approaches suit issues such as anxiety, intimacy problems and grief.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and decide together which methods to use. That conversation is collaborative and can change as the work progresses.
The biography records a certificate in online and telephone counselling, so confirm the exact session formats available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Telephone sessions can be useful when internet bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera.
