About Evangelia
Evangelia Botsaki is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years' experience working with adults. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, low self-esteem, and the fallout from trauma and grief. Evangelia also focuses on career questions, coping with life changes, sleep problems, anger and compassion fatigue.
She trained in psychology in Athens and completed further study in Scotland, including a bachelor's degree from Napier University and an MSc in Children and Young People’s Mental Health at the University of Edinburgh. She also holds a Diploma in Counselling and Groupwork with a CBT approach completed in 2019.
Early placements involved one-to-one work for anxiety and low mood and co-facilitating psychoeducational workshops on depression and challenging negative thinking. Since then she has worked in private practice supporting adults through a range of concerns such as relationship difficulties, trauma, and self-confidence struggles.
Her practice draws on Client-Centred ideas alongside Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy to address thinking patterns, behavioural habits, and responses to distressing events. Sessions aim to be collaborative, practical and focused on what the person wants to change.
Evangelia speaks English and Greek. She has completed additional training in Trauma-Focused Therapy and is currently attending training in Transactional Analysis. Prospective clients are encouraged to check the current session options before booking.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting working relationship. It helps people clarify their own goals and feel understood, which can be helpful for issues like low self-esteem and relationship worries.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and behaviour changes to reduce anxiety, challenge negative thinking and improve day-to-day functioning.
Trauma-Focused Therapy attends to responses that follow distressing events and offers ways to process difficult memories and reduce current triggers. It can be useful for people coping with abuse, loss or other traumatic experiences.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, goals and preferences and agree on methods together. This means the plan can change as progress is made.
Confirm the session formats available before booking. Registered or accredited professionals offer online sessions that can fit around study, work and travel. Online work can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins, avoid travel time, or take a session during a lunch break. Ask about session length and timing when you arrange the first appointment.
