Evangelia Botsaki , BACP

Evangelia Botsaki offers a calm, practical place for people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship strain and change. She works in a straightforward, warm way and aims to help clients notice unhelpful patterns and build clearer ways to cope. Evangelia is named in the first person in her bio as Evangelia and holds BACP accreditation, and she works from the United Kingdom supporting English and Greek speakers.

Evangelia trained in psychology in Athens and completed further study in Scotland, including a bachelor’s degree in psychology at Napier University and an MSc in Children and Young People’s Mental Health at the University of Edinburgh. She then completed a Diploma in Counselling and Groupwork using a CBT approach and has practised in one-to-one settings and group education workshops.

Her clinical work includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy. In sessions she focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking, building coping strategies and making room for emotional processing after painful experiences. She emphasises collaboration and practical steps rather than abstract theory.

Evangelia has five years of professional experience and has worked across private practice and mental health organisations. She has led psychoeducational sessions on depression and challenging negative thinking and supported adults with anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties and self-confidence concerns.

She continues professional development, including additional study in Trauma-Focused Therapy and ongoing training in Transactional Analysis. Evangelia often helps people who feel stuck, struggle with belonging, or are managing grief, caregiver stress and compassion fatigue.

How her approaches work online and what to expect

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflecting feelings and helping the person make sense of their experience. This approach suits people who need a compassionate space to talk and be heard.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It uses practical exercises to challenge unhelpful thinking and build new coping skills, which can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing distressing memories and their effects on daily life. It offers structured ways to reduce the hold of past events and to restore a sense of safety and control over emotions.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Evangelia will work with each person to identify goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those aims. Adjustments are made as therapy progresses so the plan stays relevant to real needs.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls are useful for conversations that need facial cues and deeper dialogue. Phone sessions can be lower bandwidth and easier to fit into a work break. Live chat or text-based messaging suits shorter check-ins, brief reflections or when someone prefers writing their thoughts. These options help people access support from different locations and at different times.
