About Evangelia Botsaki
Evangelia Botsaki is a CBT-trained therapist originally from Greece who now practises from Edinburgh in the United Kingdom. She developed an interest in understanding resilience, relationships, and personal growth early in life, a curiosity that shaped her academic path and clinical focus. After studying psychology in Athens, she completed 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.
In 2019 she earned a Diploma in Counselling and Groupwork with a CBT approach, and during her placement she provided one-to-one support for people experiencing anxiety and low mood while co-facilitating psychoeducational workshops on depression and challenging negative thinking for local mental health organisations. Since then she has worked in private practice supporting adults with concerns such as anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties and grief.
Her style is warm, collaborative and compassionate, focused on helping clients explore the patterns and experiences that contribute to distress and develop practical tools for change. She has completed additional training in Trauma-Focused Therapy and is undertaking further professional development in Transactional Analysis, which enriches the way she understands attachment, identity and interpersonal patterns. Evangelia also holds BACP accreditation - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - reflecting recognised professional standards. She offers therapy in English and Greek and works with adults presenting a wide range of emotional and relational challenges.

Integrating therapeutic approaches with online care
Evangelia uses evidence-informed methods adapted to each person’s needs. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy and collaboration - the therapist creates a respectful space that helps people explore values, identity and connection while building confidence and self-compassion. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and learning practical skills to manage anxiety, low mood and negative thinking patterns through structured exercises and gradual change. Trauma-Focused Therapy offers targeted strategies to process and reduce the ongoing impact of traumatic experiences, combining stabilisation, skill-building and trauma-specific techniques to support recovery and emotional regulation.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Evangelia will work with each person to understand their goals, preferences and life context, tailoring methods and pacing so therapy feels relevant and manageable. Clients and therapist decide together which techniques to emphasise and how to adapt them over time.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call or phone allow real-time conversation, while live chat and text-based messaging provide shorter, convenient ways to check in and practice skills between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, maintain continuity across locations and choose the format that best supports engagement and progress with licensed professionals and therapists.
