About Evangelia

Evangelia Botsaki helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy difficulties, low self-esteem and the effects of trauma and loss using practical, evidence-informed approaches. She works collaboratively with adults to look at thinking patterns, coping strategies and relationship dynamics. Evangelia is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has five years' experience.

She practises primarily from a cognitive behavioural perspective, using structured work on thoughts and behaviours to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning. Evangelia also uses client-centred methods to focus on the person in front of her and to build a working relationship that supports reflection and problem solving.

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, followed by a Diploma in Counselling and Groupwork with a CBT approach completed in 2019. Early placements included one-to-one therapy for anxiety and low mood and co-facilitating psychoeducational workshops on depression and unhelpful thinking.

Since qualifying she has worked in private practice supporting adults with anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, grief and related concerns such as sleep problems, anger and compassion fatigue. She also focuses on attachment and abandonment issues, body image, codependency and the effects of separation and domestic violence.

Sessions are delivered in English and Greek. Evangelia continues professional development in trauma-focused work and transactional analysis to widen the tools she draws on in sessions.

How her approaches work in online counselling

Evangelia uses cognitive behavioural therapy and trauma-focused methods alongside client-centred work. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and testing out new ways of thinking to reduce anxiety and low mood. Trauma-focused therapy targets responses that follow traumatic events, aiming to reduce the intensity of distressing memories and improve daily coping. Client-centred therapy places emphasis on the therapeutic relationship, listening and helping the person clarify their concerns and goals.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work she does with each person. She will discuss options in early sessions and agree together which methods best fit the client’s needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative decision can change as therapy progresses.

Practical benefits of online counselling include fitting sessions into busy schedules and reducing travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to have a shorter check-in during a break, or to avoid being on camera if that helps someone engage better. The precise session formats are not specified here, so please confirm current session options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often offer ways of working that aim to fit therapy into daily life.
