Eva Vass has been excellent. Being able to talk through issues whilst walking has worked so well for me. Eva is a great listener and is able to offer constructive help when required. Eva has also tried to be as flexible as possible which is a godsend with our busy lives. Our sessions have been invaluable and have really helped me cope and have improved my mental outlook. I would highly recommend her as a therapist

I would like to offer you safe and confidential “walk and talk” sessions in Bracknell if that's near enough to where you are based and also if you are interested in this kind of therapy. We would walk at your pace or sit on a bench, connect with nature and explore the issue that you have brought. I am also happy to see you online if that's what you prefer.
My hope is that in our sessions you could experience a sense of release as well as gain a deeper understanding of yourself that could lead to your current issues to ease.
I work with a gentle, client-led approach, I draw upon the person-centred and the psychodynamic methods mostly. I think exploring past events, traumas, bringing core beliefs from the subconscious mind to the conscious level are extremely helpful first steps in understanding patterns and joining the dots that can be followed by working on these underlying issues to bring on real, lasting change.
My goal is to develop a therapeutic relationship where you feel safe to open up and share your thoughts and feelings. I believe that feeling heard and understood is a big part of the healing process.
Personal Touch
I used to be a teacher but realized that I would much rather listen to the children's personal stories and issues they struggle with rather than teach them language skills. The ones that could not focus in class usually had some mental health issues that I felt the urge to help them with. This is what inspired me to start my counselling training.
Client Focus
I only work with individual adult clients with low or medium level of anxiety and/or depression, relationship issues, loss and grief, low self esteem and on how to understand themselves at a deeper level, including their values, core beliefs and any issues that are underlying their sense of self and decision-making possibly without their awareness.
Background
I am a pre-dominantly person-centred counsellor. For me this is not only a counselling approach but a way of being. Responding from a deeper level of empathy, where I sense the unspoken, implicit feelings, thoughts and agenda; listening to understand and not to respond and being fully present for the client. The most important part of the therapy is the relationship between me and the client that I aim to be a healthy one with clear boundaries, built on mutual respect and true connection. As an integrative counsellor I can draw upon other approaches as well, such as psychodynamics, when we leave the “here and now” and explore the client’s life events, attachment styles or focus on what thoughts and feelings might come from their subconscious mind. The client leads the sessions, my style is non-directive and we will never leave the “person-centred nest” we are sitting in together building a person to person genuine relationship.
I have a level 4 diploma in therapeutic counselling. I am an individual member of and I abide by their Code of Ethics. I have attended several workshops and courses on: -trauma informed therapy, somatic therapy, relationships, anxiety, depression
Therapy Approach
I work pre-dominantly with the person-centred and the psychodynamics approach. My sessions are led by the clients, however I assist their own exploration with questions, insights and guidance, if necessary. I believe exploring past experiences, traumas and the unconscious, biassed, implicit content of the mind and soul are very important parts of the healing journey.

Testimonials
Client Feedback
Eva has been a really grounding experience. She creates a calm, non judgmental space that makes it easier to open up. I especially appreciated the option to walk during session being in nature helped me feel more relaxed and made the conversations flow more naturally. Therapy with Eva has helped me reflect and move forward with more clarity and it’s truly a joy to talk to her, she created a save secure environment. Thank you Eva!
28 May 2025 I have been working online with Eva for the last couple of years and she truly is one of a kind. She creates such a welcoming space and helps me work through my difficulties with managing anxiety and self esteem. She has been there with me through many hard times in life as a non-judgemental space to navigate difficult periods and come out of them having learned something and improved my coping skills and thought patterns. I cannot recommend Eva enough
