Evangelia Botsaki

Evangelia Botsaki is a counsellor who helps people facing anger, anxiety and stress. She offers down-to-earth support for low mood, relationship worries and problems with self-esteem. Evangelia speaks English and Greek and works from the United Kingdom.

She began studying psychology in Athens and continued in Scotland, completing 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. Evangelia also completed a Diploma in Counselling and Groupwork using a CBT approach in 2019 and has five years of practice experience.

Early placements involved one-to-one work with people managing anxiety and low mood, and co-facilitating workshops on depression and challenging negative thinking. Since then she has focused on supporting adults with issues such as trauma, relationship difficulties, grief and compassion fatigue.

Her day-to-day style is warm and collaborative. She listens for what matters to the person in front of her and helps them try practical ways of changing unhelpful thinking and patterns of behaviour. Sessions tend to combine talking, gentle reflection and straightforward tools to practise between meetings.

Evangelia continues to develop professionally and has undertaken additional training in Trauma-Focused Therapy and in Transactional Analysis. She holds BACP registration and draws on her varied training to tailor an approach to each person’s needs.

Approach-driven online therapy to manage anger and stress

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s experience. The counsellor offers empathy and aims to help people find their own solutions, useful for building self-esteem and improving relationships.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises to challenge unhelpful thinking and to develop different ways of responding to anger, anxiety and low mood.

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on helping people process difficult events and reduce their impact on daily life. It can be useful when past experiences continue to affect mood, sleep or relationships.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Evangelia will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they will decide which methods to try and how to adapt them as therapy progresses.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as current options are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings around work or childcare, cut out travel time and let people meet from wherever is quietest for them. It also allows shorter check-in sessions or regular weekly meetings depending on what the person needs.
