Her philosophy centers around therapy as a collaborative process of exploration, marked by an attitude of compassionate curiosity and non-judgment. Drawing on her bicultural background—having been born and raised in Prague, Czech Republic—Eva employs emotion-focused therapy to explore the positive roles of emotions.
