About Eva
Eva Vass is a counsellor who works from a somatic and person-centred perspective. She creates a calm space where clients can notice bodily sensations alongside thoughts and feelings. Eva draws on practical listening and gentle enquiry to help people make sense of difficult experiences.
She uses a person-centred way of being in the room, which means the client leads the conversation and she follows with careful, empathic listening. That approach is paired with somatic awareness so people can learn how stress and emotion show up in the body and how to respond to those signals.
Background and approach
Eva also brings attachment-based ideas into sessions, looking at how early relationships shape current patterns of relating and self-view. She sometimes explores life events more deeply using psychodynamic ideas when it helps to uncover long-standing patterns. Cognitive behavioural ideas may be used to map links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour when a practical focus is useful.
Her training includes a Level 4 diploma in therapeutic counselling and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has completed additional workshops such as safeguarding children and young people, LGBTQ terminology and pronouns, and a certificate in online and telephone counselling.
Eva has three years' counselling experience and has worked with concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma, self-harm, eating difficulties, neurodiversity and gender-related issues. Sessions are offered in English and can take place by video, phone, live chat or text messaging.
How somatic and relational approaches work online
Eva draws on somatic awareness to help people notice how stress and emotion show up in the body and to learn practical ways to respond to those sensations. Somatic work can be useful for trauma, anxiety and states of overwhelm where body sensations are prominent.She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at patterns in relationships and how early experiences shape current ways of relating. This can help people understand recurring difficulties in communication, trust and emotional closeness.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy. The therapist and client work together to choose which methods fit current needs, goals and preferences. Sessions may combine somatic awareness, person-centred listening and relational exploration as the conversation develops.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel, and allow people to continue therapy from different places. Many clients find the range of formats helps them choose what feels most comfortable for exploring difficult feelings and learning new ways to cope.
