Practitioner of Processwork UK

Eva Vohlidkova

She/Her

I am a Processwork facilitator and psychotherapist (UKCP registered) and an ICF accredited coach. I have a master’s degree in clinical psychology.

In my private practice I support people in pursuing their own inner sense of development and purpose, in moving through transitions and stuck places, and finding meaning and a way forward.

I work with individuals and relationships (couples, family members, friends, colleagues…) and facilitate groups.

You are welcome whether you are looking for a short-term or long-term commitment or if you just want to try a couple of sessions to see how therapy works for you.

We can work in person in my practice in West London or via zoom / phone.

I work in English, Slovak and Czech.

 I grew up in Czechoslovakia in a mixed Czech and Slovak family. I belong to the story of a region in Central Europe with a long turbulent history of many abrupt changes of borders, regimes and forces in power. It is also a place with rich cultural and linguistic diversity. For the past 20 years I have lived in the UK, and for a shorter time (3 years) in the USA. Living within more than one culture, belonging to more than one space, has always been part of my life and has become one of my interests in my practice. 

 Growing up in a communist dictatorship naturally turned my interests to working with individual, intergenerational and collective trauma; exploring issues of leadership, power and abuse of power; oppression, silence and silencing processes, and dissociative and frozen states. 

 PW supports me to hold all the different parts of our experience, however disjointed, and value them all. We naturally try to avoid and push out the parts that we find disturbing or uncomfortable and PW gives me tools to go beyond the surface level and find deeper meaning and interconnected patterns in them; to find a grain of gold in even the most impossible of events that can inspire and open up a whole new world for us.

 I started my career as a clinical psychologist working within the health care sector with people with psychiatric diagnoses. Currently, besides my private practice, I also work with a charity called Act for Change where we focus on the mental health of young people affected by trauma. Applying a systemic approach takes us beyond only working with individuals to facilitate communities, support youth leadership and train practitioners in trauma-informed practice. We strive for policy and culture change within local authorities and organisations in favour of trauma-informed and inclusive practices.

 When I am not working I like walking outside under the trees, yoga, reading, and hanging out with my adult children
