About Evangelia
Evangelia Botsaki is a counsellor based in Edinburgh who helps people manage stress, anxiety, sleep problems and relationship strains. She works with adults facing low self-esteem, grief, anger, compassion fatigue and life changes. Evangelia speaks English and Greek and draws on five years of practice to support clients seeking clearer thinking and steadier routines.
Her style is warm and collaborative. Sessions focus on understanding what matters to each person and trying practical ways to feel better. Evangelia uses client-centred listening alongside cognitive behavioural ideas to spot patterns that keep difficulties going.
Evangelia trained in psychology in Athens and Scotland, earning a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Napier University and an MSc in Children and Young People’s Mental Health from the University of Edinburgh. She completed a Diploma in Counselling and Groupwork with a CBT approach in 2019 and has worked in private practice since then.
Her work has included one-to-one therapy for anxiety and low mood and co-facilitating workshops on depression and challenging negative thinking. She has undertaken additional training in Trauma-Focused Therapy and is currently studying Transactional Analysis to broaden her skills.
In sessions she helps people notice thought patterns, try small behavioural changes, and develop healthier ways of relating to themselves and others. Evangelia aims to create a respectful space to reflect, practise new skills and build routines that support better sleep and daily functioning.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. The therapist offers a respectful, non-judgemental space and follows the client's pace to build trust and clarity. This approach can help people who feel stuck or unsure where to start.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It uses practical exercises and small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety, improve sleep routines and tackle unhelpful thinking patterns.
Trauma-Focused Therapy pays attention to the impact of past distress on current life. It offers tools to process difficult memories and reduce their hold on day-to-day functioning, often alongside stabilising techniques to manage distress.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable, then tailor the work together over time. Clients and the therapist decide which methods suit each person's needs and pace.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the exact session options before booking as the biography does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let someone continue therapeutic work across locations when international arrangements are involved.
