Evangelia Botsaki offers calm, practical support for people facing anxiety, low mood and difficult life changes. She works in a warm, collaborative way and aims to help people feel heard and understood. Evangelia speaks English and Greek and practises from the United Kingdom.
She uses straightforward tools from cognitive behavioural therapy to help spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns. She also draws on client-centred ideas to keep the work focused on each person’s needs and priorities.
Background and approach
Trauma-focused work is part of her practice when past hurt affects day-to-day life. Evangelia trained in psychology first in Athens and later in Scotland. She completed a bachelor’s degree in psychology at Napier University and a master of science 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 completed in 2019. Early placements involved one-to-one therapy for anxiety and low mood and co-facilitating psychoeducational workshops on depression and challenging negative thinking. Since then she has worked in independent practice supporting adults with anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem and relationship difficulties.
She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP. Evangelia values ongoing learning and has completed additional training in Trauma-Focused Therapy while undertaking further study in Transactional Analysis. Her focus includes issues such as attachment concerns, abandonment, body image and compassion fatigue.
Approaches for online therapy and what they do
Client-centred therapy focuses on creating a respectful, non-judgemental space where the client leads the pace and topics of conversation; it helps people get clearer about their needs and values. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, uses practical exercises to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on understanding how past experiences affect current feelings and reactions and offers ways to process and reduce their impact.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best based on their goals, needs and what feels comfortable. This is an ongoing conversation rather than a fixed plan, and adjustments are made as progress unfolds.
Online sessions take place by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit therapy around life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be helpful with lower bandwidth, and chat or messaging suits shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to access consistent therapy from different locations and at times that work with work, family and travel.
