About Evangelia
Counsellor Evangelia Botsaki is a BACP member with five years' experience. She works with adults in the United Kingdom on stress, anxiety, self-esteem, relationship and intimacy-related issues, trauma and abuse, grief, and related concerns such as sleeping problems and compassion fatigue.
Evangelia trained in psychology in Athens and 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 completed a Diploma in Counselling and Groupwork with a CBT approach in 2019 and later undertook additional training in Trauma-Focused Therapy. These studies shaped a practical, problem-focused way of working.
In sessions she draws on client-centred principles alongside cognitive behavioural techniques and trauma-focused methods. That means conversations that start from what matters to the person and use straightforward tools to challenge unhelpful thinking and manage distress. She has experience leading one-to-one work for anxiety and low mood and running psychoeducational workshops on depression and thinking styles.
Her practice supports people dealing with abandonment and attachment issues, body image concerns, caregiving stress, codependency and relationship communication problems. Evangelia also works with people facing difficult life changes, separation, domestic violence, and feelings of emptiness.
She offers work in English and Greek and accepts international clients. Before booking, check the counsellor's current session options and costs, and follow the listed steps to complete the initial matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches work for remote counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding what matters to the person. The counsellor follows the client's lead and works from their concerns and goals, which helps when deciding what to address first.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, uses practical steps to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and sleep difficulties and includes exercises that can be practised between sessions.
Trauma-Focused Therapy targets the effects of past trauma with approaches that help reduce distress linked to those memories. It aims to improve day-to-day coping and reduce intrusive reactions to traumatic events.
Finding the right method is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss the person's situation, goals and preferences and make choices together about which approaches to use. This is a collaborative process and can change as therapy progresses.
Session practicalities should be checked before booking because the profile does not list specific formats. Confirm the available session types and how they fit into daily life. Online counselling can make sessions easier to fit around work, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed, but check which options are offered before scheduling.
