Evangelina Bailo , HCPC

Evangelina Bailo is a counsellor registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and has worked in the UK for 15 years. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with family issues, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety and stress. She also supports those facing relationship strain and parenting challenges.

Her approach is straightforward and respectful. Sessions are shaped around each person's needs rather than a fixed script. She aims to listen closely, help you name what matters, and work with you to set practical steps forward.

Evangelina has experience with attachment issues, dissociation, and complex problems such as co-morbidity and obsessive-compulsive behaviours. She also supports people navigating body image concerns, hoarding, gender dysphoria and loneliness. Her background includes long-term work with trauma and with families experiencing repeated conflict.

She offers therapy in both English and Spanish, which can help when cultural context matters. Evangelina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to what each person finds most helpful.

Beginning therapy can feel difficult. She aims to make the early sessions clear and manageable, focusing on small, achievable goals. Over time she works with people to build coping skills and clearer ways of relating to themselves and others.

Evidence-based approaches and remote therapy options

Evangelina draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding patterns and building practical skills. One approach addresses trauma by helping people make sense of distressing memories and reduce their hold on daily life; this can help with symptoms of trauma and abuse. Another common strand works on anxiety and obsessive-compulsive patterns by identifying unhelpful thoughts and habits, then practising different responses to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss needs, goals and preferences in the first sessions and propose options to try. That shared decision-making makes it easier to adjust methods if something is not a good fit.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when meeting in person is difficult. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer shorter, written check-ins or who find it easier to express themselves in writing. These options make it possible to fit therapy around work, travel and family life while keeping continuity of care.
