About Evangelia
Evangelia Botsaki is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom. She draws on five years' experience and a background in psychology to help adults who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, low mood, relationship strain or uncertainty about the future. She speaks English and Greek and aims to make sessions straightforward and compassionate for people at different stages of life.
Evangelia studied psychology in Athens and completed a bachelor’s degree in psychology at Napier University, followed by an MSc in Children and Young People’s Mental Health at the University of Edinburgh. She completed a Diploma in Counselling and Groupwork with a cognitive behavioural therapy focus in 2019 and has worked in private practice since then. She also completed additional training in Trauma-Focused Therapy and is undertaking further study in Transactional Analysis.
Her work is collaborative and warm. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, building coping skills and improving how people relate to themselves and others. Practical tools and reflective conversation are used alongside attention to past events that still affect daily life.
Clients can expect short-term strategies for managing stress and anxiety and longer conversations about identity, self-esteem and belonging. She has supported people through grief, trauma, burnout and issues around intimacy and codependency. Evangelia aims to help each person set clear goals and try approaches that fit their needs and values.
She uses a person-centred stance while incorporating cognitive behavioural and trauma-focused methods where helpful. Her practice emphasises respect, autonomy and compassionate listening as people work on change and recovery.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy puts your experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what she hears and helps you explore feelings and choices. This approach is useful when you want a non-judgemental space to make sense of difficult emotions.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises to challenge unhelpful thinking and build coping skills for anxiety, low mood and stress. This approach often involves homework and clear steps to try between sessions.
Finding the right method is part of the work. Evangelia discusses goals and preferences with each person and decides together which approaches to try. The plan can change as you learn what helps and what doesn’t, so the process is collaborative and iterative.
The practical benefits of remote counselling can help people fit therapy into busy lives, such as avoiding travel time and making sessions easier to attend around work or caring duties. If you are considering online options, confirm the specific session formats available before booking so you know what will be offered. Registered or accredited professionals often use online sessions to combine flexibility with regular contact and ongoing progress tracking.
