Η Αποστολοπούλου Εύα είναι Ψυχολόγος με κλινική άδεια ασκήσης επαγγέλματος, απόφοιτη του Παντείου Πανεπιστημίου Κοινωνικών και Πολιτικών Επιστημών. Στο πλαίσιο της πρακτικής της άσκησης εργάστηκε στη Διεύθυνση Κοινωνικής Πολιτικής & Υγείας του Δήμου Βύρωνα, όπου εκπαιδεύτηκε στη χρήση ψυχομετρικών εργαλείων και στην αξιολόγηση δυσκολιών παιδιών προσχολικής ηλικίας. Εκεί, ανέλαβε τον συντονισμό παιδικών εργαστηρίων και ψυχοεκπαιδευτικών ομιλιών, ως μέρος της θεραπευτικής παρέμβασης που ανέπτυξε στη διπλωματική της εργασία.

Με περισσότερα από 6 χρόνια επαγγελματικής εμπειρίας σε μεγάλους οργανισμούς και startups σε Ελλάδα και Ηνωμένο Βασίλειο, σε ρόλους που αφορούσαν το Human Resources και το Account Management, η Εύα έχει βαθιά κατανόηση των ανθρώπινων δυναμικών και της διαχείρισης σχέσεων σε πολυσύνθετα επαγγελματικά περιβάλλοντα. Έχει δουλέψει σε μεγάλα projects, με στόχο την αλλαγή εταιρικής κουλτούρας, εμπειρίες που τη βοήθησαν να δει καθαρά ότι η συμπεριφορά δεν μπορεί να εξεταστεί αποκομμένα από το πλαίσιο μέσα στο οποίο ζούμε, δουλεύουμε, μαθαίνουμε... Η έκθεσή της σε διαφορετικές κουλτούρες και οργανωτικά μοντέλα έχει ενισχύσει τη συστημική της οπτική, ώστε να αναγνωρίζει πώς η δομή, οι ρόλοι και τα επικοινωνιακά μοτίβα επηρεάζουν την ατομική και ομαδική συμπεριφορά.

Η επαγγελματική της εξειδίκευση συνεχίζεται μέσω του 4ετούς Προγράμματος Συστημικής Ψυχοθεραπείας & Συμβουλευτικής στο Εργαστήριο “Ροδάκινο”, το οποίο είναι αναγνωρισμένο από τον Ευρωπαϊκό Σύνδεσμο Οικογενειακών Θεραπευτών (E.F.T.A.). Ακόμα, κατέχει πιστοποιητικά επιμόρφωσης στις “Εφαρμογές Συμβουλευτικής σε παιδιά & εφήβους” και στην “Τέχνη ως Θεραπευτικό Εργαλείο”, ενώ συνεχίζει να εκπαιδεύεται πάνω στο αντικείμενό της μέσα από επιστημονικά προγράμματα που εμπλουτίζουν τις γνώσεις της. Αυτή την περίοδο πραγματοποιεί συνεδρίες με παιδιά, εφήβους, ενήλικες και οικογένειες σε πολυδύναμα Κέντρα Ειδικών Θεραπειών. Ταυτόχρονα, εργάζεται ως Ψυχολόγος, προσφέροντας εξ’ αποστάσεως υπηρεσίες συμβουλευτικής σε ανθρώπους όλων των ηλικιών, ενώ συμμετέχει εθελοντικά σε γραμμή τηλεφωνικής υποστήριξης.

Το επαγγελματικό της όραμα είναι να ενσωματώνει την επιστημονική της κατάρτιση με την πρακτική εμπειρία της. Στόχος της είναι να δημιουργεί χώρο, όπου κάθε άνθρωπος μπορεί να ακουστεί, να ενδυναμωθεί και να διαμορφώσει νέους, πιο υγιείς τρόπους σύνδεσης και επικοινωνίας με τους γύρω του.
