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.

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 ψυχοθεραπείας και συμβουλευτικής με παιδιά, εφήβους, ενήλικες και οικογένειες στην ιδιωτική της πρακτική, αλλά και ως επιστημονική συνεργάτιδα σε Κέντρα Ειδικών Θεραπειών.

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.
