About Evangelia
Evangelia Botsaki is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has five years' experience. She works with adults who feel stuck after changes in work, relationships or health. Common concerns she supports include anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and problems with self-esteem and intimacy.
Evangelia trained in psychology in Athens and Scotland and completed an MSc in Children and Young People’s Mental Health at the University of Edinburgh. She also holds a Diploma in Counselling and Groupwork using a CBT approach and has provided one-to-one therapy and psychoeducational workshops in Edinburgh organisations.
In private practice she helps people untangle patterns such as negative thinking, feelings of not belonging, attachment or abandonment concerns, and difficulties with communication and commitment. She combines practical, evidence-informed techniques with person-centred ways of working so people can experiment with small changes between sessions.
Her work often focuses on coping with life changes, managing stress and compassion fatigue, and addressing the emotional impact of trauma and abuse. She pays attention to sleep problems, anger and caregiver stress where these affect daily life and relationships.
Evangelia speaks English and Greek and works with international clients. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
Background and approach: She has undertaken additional training in Trauma-Focused Therapy and is currently training in Transactional Analysis. In sessions she encourages clear, practical goals, uses cognitive behavioural techniques to challenge unhelpful thinking, and offers a client-centred setting to reflect on attachment patterns and relational concerns. The focus is on what people want to change and on manageable steps toward those aims.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy places the client's concerns at the heart of each session. The counsellor offers attentive listening and reflection so a person can make sense of what matters and decide on next steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It uses straightforward exercises and homework to test alternative ways of thinking and coping with anxiety or low mood. Trauma-Focused Therapy attends directly to the impact of traumatic events and offers structured ways to process those experiences so daily life is less disrupted.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Evangelia will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those aims. That collaborative process means approaches can be mixed or adjusted as needs change over time.
If you plan to work online, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also make it possible to work with a counsellor from another country. Practical arrangements such as timing, frequency and any materials to use between sessions will be agreed at the start so therapy fits into everyday life.
