Eva Vass , BACP

Eva Vass offers a calm, attentive presence for people seeking deeper understanding of their feelings, relationships and patterns of living. She works from a primarily person-centred stance, meeting each person where they are and responding from a place of empathy rather than trying to fix or direct. She aims to listen deeply to what is spoken and to the unspoken material beneath the surface, supporting clients as they explore how early attachments, life events and inner narratives shape current experience.

As an integrative counsellor she draws on additional methods when helpful, including psychodynamic ideas to explore past experiences and underlying patterns, and elements of cognitive behavioural work to identify and challenge unhelpful thinking. She describes her style as non-directive within a clear therapeutic relationship - a respectful, bounded connection that provides the context for change and self-discovery. Her training includes a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, and she is an individual member of BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and works in line with its ethical framework.

Eva has completed workshops and courses in safeguarding children and young people, LGBTQ terminology and pronouns, supporting young people with eating disorders, online and telephone counselling, and gender and sexuality. She has experience working with both young people and adults on issues such as anxiety, depression, self-harm, low self-esteem, neurodiversity, suicidal ideation, transgender matters, childhood trauma, co-dependency, eating disorders and relationship concerns. She welcomes people from diverse backgrounds and supports those seeking to build greater acceptance, compassion and clarity in their lives.
