Psychotherapist
Eva Koumpli is a UKCP-accredited psychotherapist with over 20 years of clinical experience working across specialist addiction services, residential rehabilitation, eating disorder treatment, forensic settings, the NHS and private practice. She works with adults and couples experiencing addiction, compulsive behaviours, trauma, relationship difficulties and emotional distress.
Her specialist areas include substance misuse, compulsive sexual behaviours, eating disorders, behavioural addictions, complex and developmental trauma, attachment difficulties and relational recovery. Eva believes that many addictive and compulsive behaviours develop as creative attempts to cope with overwhelming emotional experiences, and her therapeutic approach focuses on understanding and healing the underlying trauma rather than simply managing symptoms.
Eva integrates EMDR, psychodrama, attachment-based, somatic and neuroscience-informed approaches to provide evidence-based, trauma-informed treatment tailored to each individual. She works collaboratively with clients to develop emotional regulation, strengthen resilience, rebuild healthy relationships and support sustainable recovery.
Alongside her clinical practice, Eva has held senior leadership positions including Clinical Director of specialist eating disorder services and has worked extensively within residential addiction treatment, multidisciplinary teams and therapeutic communities. She has significant experience supporting individuals with co-occurring mental health difficulties, compulsive behaviours and relationship challenges.
Eva is also a qualified Psychosexual and Relationship Therapist with a particular interest in intimacy, sexuality and the impact of trauma on relationships. Her work is inclusive, culturally sensitive and affirming of gender, sex and relationship diversity (GSRD), creating a safe and non-judgemental space for clients from all backgrounds.
Currently undertaking doctoral research in psychotherapy, Eva is passionate about helping people move beyond survival, reconnect with themselves and others, and build meaningful, lasting recovery through compassionate, collaborative therapy.
