Joy is connection to what really matters.
I help you access it.
Many think of joy as a “nice-to-have” - a fleeting happy moment.
But joy is actually a core need for your well-being.
Not only does it feel good and impact others around you in positive ways, but most importantly, it brings you in closer connection with what’s important for your well-being.
It signals when your life is aligned with what truly matters and fuels your energy, focus, and resilience.
Joy is a signal, a skill, and a practice.
And it’s within your reach - let me show you how.
Joy is not a frivolous fantasy,
it is vital and valuable.
Hi, I’m Eva Simona and I’m here to support you on your joy journey - (re)discovering what truly matters to you and how to live closer to it.
Whether joy feels like a distant destination you’ve always dreamed of visiting, or a familiar place you haven’t been able to reach lately, I’m here to walk alongside you.
As a psychologist and art therapy practitioner, a recovering perfectionist and overthinker, I bring both professional training and lived experience to the work. Together, we’ll explore your personal path to joy and build the capacity to stay with it, even when the journey gets complicated - because it always does. That’s life, and you don’t have to navigate it alone.
I believe that a world with more joy is both possible and necessary,
and we can all be its ambassadors.
What is The Joy Embassy about?
Joy
Joy as not only a feeling, but a practice of connecting to what is really important to us.
Joy is a motivational system designed to keep us returning to what matters, and we can use that system intentionally.
I look at joy from a psychological perspective, applying that understanding to everyday life.
Psychological flexibility
Psychological flexibility as the goal and the ability to be present, open up and do what matters.
We can never get rid of or avoid all the difficult experiences, but we can learn to ride the waves of all of life’s offerings.
With Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, I help you build the capacity to navigate all of life’s experiences.
Creativity
Creativity as a power and a tool
for getting to know and support yourself better.
I use creative tools to help you get out of the cycles of over-analysing and see things from a fresh perspective, finding new solutions.
Using my art therapy training, I give you personalised prompts to connect with yourself with more ease and fun.
“You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.”

”Joy is not made to be a crumb.”
