About Evangelia
Evangelia Botsaki is a counsellor who aims to help people feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, low mood, relationship strain or big life changes. She speaks English and Greek and offers sessions online to people in the United Kingdom and internationally. Her style is warm and collaborative, with a focus on practical steps that can be used between sessions.
Evangelia trained in psychology in Athens and Scotland, completing a bachelor’s degree at Napier University and an MSc in Children and Young People’s Mental Health at the University of Edinburgh.
Background and approach
She also completed a Diploma in Counselling and Groupwork with a cognitive behavioural therapy approach in 2019. Since qualifying she has worked in independent practice supporting adults with anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem and relationship difficulties. Early placements involved one-to-one therapy for anxiety and low mood and co-facilitating psychoeducational workshops about depression and challenging negative thinking.
Those experiences shaped her preference for evidence-informed methods that focus on clear steps and learning new ways of thinking. Evangelia uses client-centred conversations alongside cognitive behavioural and trauma-focused work to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try alternative responses. She pays particular attention to issues such as attachment, abandonment, body image and caregiver stress when these come up in sessions.
People can expect short-term practical tools alongside slower, reflective work on deeper hurts. Sessions aim to build confidence, reduce distressing thoughts and improve day-to-day coping. Evangelia describes therapy as a shared process based on respect and curiosity about what matters to each person.
How her approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding each person’s experience. The therapist listens closely and helps the person lead the pace and topics of sessions, which can be useful for issues like relationship strain, self-esteem and feelings of emptiness.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers simple exercises and tools to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviours, which often helps with anxiety, low mood and sleeping problems.
Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on the impact of traumatic events and supports gradual processing of painful memories alongside coping skills. This work can be helpful when past hurt, abuse or frightening events affect everyday life.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose or combine methods based on needs, goals and preferences. That means sessions can be practical and short-term, or more reflective and long-term depending on what’s helpful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls suit face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and are useful for shorter check-ins. Live chat and messaging can fit into busy days and let people share thoughts in writing. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family and travel.
