Eva Vass, BACP

Eva Vass is a person-centred counsellor who offers a calm, attentive presence for people navigating difficult life experiences. She prioritises listening to understand rather than to respond, helping clients feel genuinely heard and supported as they explore emotions, relationships, and the roots of recurring patterns. Her approach encourages self-compassion and greater awareness, with the aim of helping clients relate to themselves and others in new, more accepting ways.

Eva integrates other methods alongside her person-centred stance when appropriate, drawing on attachment-based ideas to explore early relational patterns, emotionally focused principles to attend to how feelings shape connections, and cognitive-behavioural tools to work with unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. She describes the therapeutic relationship as central - a respectful, bounded collaboration in which the client leads the work and the therapist accompanies them.

She holds a level 4 diploma in therapeutic counselling and is an individual member of BACP, a professional counselling association, and follows their Code of Ethics. Her training has been supplemented by workshops and courses in areas such as safeguarding children and young people, LGBTQ terminology and pronouns, supporting young people with eating disorders, online and telephone counselling, and gender and sexuality.

Eva has worked with both young people and adults on concerns including anxiety, depression, self-harm, low self-esteem, neurodiversity, suicidal ideation, transgender issues, childhood trauma, codependency, eating disorders, and relationship difficulties. She accepts international clients and offers sessions in English, providing a range of remote options to fit different needs and circumstances.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Eva Vass works from a person-centred foundation while drawing on attachment-based and emotionally focused approaches to help clients understand how early relationships and current emotional patterns influence their lives. Attachment-based therapy explores how early bonds shape expectations and coping styles, and can be helpful for relationship difficulties, abandonment concerns, and attachment issues. Client-centred therapy emphasises empathy, acceptance, and the client-led pace of work, supporting self-exploration, self-esteem, and personal growth. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and reshaping emotional responses within close relationships, which can assist with intimacy problems, communication struggles, and grief.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Eva collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the focus over time so therapy remains relevant and responsive.

Online therapy with Eva offers practical flexibility - sessions by video or phone, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives or across time zones. These options support consistent access to a licensed professional and allow clients to engage in ways that feel most comfortable and convenient for them.
