About Evangelia

Evangelia Botsaki, BACP, has five years of experience working with adults in the United Kingdom. She supports people who struggle with anxiety, stress, low mood, relationship problems and issues around self‑esteem. Evangelia also helps with trauma, grief, sleep difficulties and compassion fatigue.

She practises using clear, practical methods that focus on thoughts, feelings and behaviours. Sessions are collaborative and aim to identify small, workable steps that can reduce worry and improve day-to-day functioning. Evangelia uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside client-centred listening to work through anxious thoughts and unhelpful patterns.

Her background includes a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Napier University and an MSc in Children and Young People’s Mental Health from the University of Edinburgh. She completed a Diploma in Counselling and Groupwork with a CBT approach in 2019 and has experience providing one-to-one therapy and running psychoeducational workshops in Edinburgh.

In private practice she supports adults with concerns such as attachment and abandonment, avoidant personality patterns, body image and codependency. She also works with people facing caregiver stress, relationship communication problems, divorce and separation, domestic violence, and feelings of emptiness.

Evangelia speaks English and Greek and accepts international clients. Practical steps in sessions include identifying negative thinking patterns, trying behavioural experiments and developing coping strategies for stress and sleep disruption. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what a person says, helping them feel understood and clearer about their own goals. This approach supports building trust and prioritising the client's perspective during online sessions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and tests small changes through practical experiments. It can help with social anxiety, panic, low mood and unhelpful thinking patterns when delivered in conversation and through homework tasks.

Trauma-Focused Therapy attends to the impact of traumatic events and works on stabilising symptoms and creating safer ways to process distressing memories. It is used alongside other approaches to support recovery from trauma and related difficulties.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their needs, goals and preferences and will review progress as therapy continues.

Confirm current session formats before booking to know what is available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around work, travel or family commitments. It also allows shorter check-ins when needed, and session work that includes talking, written tasks and behavioural experiments that can be practised between meetings.
