About Evangelia

Evangelia Botsaki offers a calm and straightforward place to talk about worries around money, work and everyday stress. She helps people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, low mood, relationship strain or changes in life. Conversations are direct and compassionate, focused on practical steps that can be used between sessions.

Evangelia trained in psychology in Athens and later in 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. She also holds a Diploma in Counselling and Groupwork with a CBT approach, gained in 2019, and has five years of practice experience in private work and community settings.

Her sessions draw on Client-Centred ideas, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy. That means she listens to what matters most to each person, looks at patterns of thought and behaviour, and offers tools to process difficult experiences. She also co-facilitated workshops on depression and challenging negative thinking during earlier placements.

Evangelia works in English and Greek and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has supported people with issues such as trauma, grief, compassion fatigue, sleep difficulties, and problems with self-esteem and intimacy. Her style is collaborative - she aims to help people find practical ways forward that suit their life and values.

If money worries, career stress or relationship concerns are affecting daily life, Evangelia can help people talk these through, spot unhelpful patterns and try new approaches. She values steady progress and supports clients as they test changes between sessions.

How her approaches work online and in practice

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the heart of sessions. The therapist listens closely, mirrors what she hears, and helps people clarify their own goals. This approach is useful when someone needs a space to be heard and to make sense of feelings related to money, work or relationships.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural changes. It offers practical tools for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and stress that can be practised between sessions. Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people process difficult memories and reduce their impact on daily life, offering ways to manage flashbacks, strong emotions and avoidance.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide together what fits each person’s needs and goals. That collaborative process means plans can change as progress is made and new priorities emerge.
