Eva Chmelikova, NCPS

Eva Chmelikova offers a welcoming therapeutic space where clients are genuinely listened to and their experiences are treated with respect. She supports people navigating loss, trauma, and major life transitions, including relocating to a new country, ending relationships, or coping with shifts in identity and relationship dynamics. Many who seek her help arrive feeling stuck after prolonged stress or a sense of disconnection from themselves; she works collaboratively to help them find direction and build greater self-awareness.

Based in the United Kingdom, Eva has practiced counseling for four years and holds the NCPS credential, a recognised counselling qualification. Her private practice mainly serves adults, while her wider experience includes working with children and young people across different counseling settings. She commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques and play therapy when appropriate to meet the needs of each client.

Ema prioritises the therapeutic relationship as the foundation for change and adapts the pace of work to what feels right for each person. When helpful and welcomed by the client, she brings in creative art tools and mindfulness exercises to deepen exploration and provide emotional release. Eva is mindful that starting therapy can provoke anxiety, and she offers steady support to navigate those initial feelings and the steps that follow.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Eva draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to inform her online work. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns, helping clients address abandonment, attachment issues, and difficulties forming secure connections. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, non-judgmental space where the client’s priorities guide the work and the therapist offers empathy and unconditional positive regard. CBT is a practical, skills-oriented approach that helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can be useful for managing stress, anxiety, depression, and problem-solving around life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Eva collaborates with each person to decide what fits best for their goals, needs, and preferences. She tailors interventions over time, combining elements of different approaches where that benefits the client, and encourages open discussion about what feels most helpful.

Online therapy with Eva is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and circumstances. These options make it easier to access consistent support from home or while abroad, reduce travel time, and allow clients to choose the format that feels most comfortable for them.
