Evangelia Botsaki
Support for anxiety and life transitions
About Evangelia
Evangelia Botsaki welcomes people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to start. She is based in Edinburgh and works with adults who are coping with anxiety, low mood, loss, relationship strain, and the stress of life changes. Evangelia speaks English and Greek and brings five years of practice to her work.
She holds BACP accreditation which guides her professional approach. Evangelia uses clear, practical ways to help people notice and change patterns that cause distress.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to make small shifts that add up over time. Conversations are collaborative and paced to what each person needs. Her background includes study in psychology and a diploma in counselling that emphasised cognitive-behavioural methods.
She has provided one-to-one therapy and led workshops on managing low mood and unhelpful thinking in community settings. This mix of study and hands-on experience shapes her work. Trauma-focused ideas are part of her practice when past events are affecting daily life.
She also explores attachment and feelings of abandonment when they come up. Evangelia uses familiar, everyday language so people can apply what they learn between sessions. Clients can expect a warm and straightforward style.
Evangelia focuses on building coping skills, tackling negative thinking, and improving confidence. The aim is practical change that feels manageable and relevant to daily life.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Evangelia uses client-centred therapy to focus on each person’s concerns and experiences. This approach means sessions are guided by what matters most to the client, with the therapist listening closely and reflecting back so people feel heard and understood.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, appears in her work as a practical way to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. CBT can help with anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and patterns that keep people stuck.
Trauma-focused therapy is used when past events are still affecting daily life. This approach looks at how traumatic experiences shape feelings and reactions, and helps people develop skills to manage distress and reconnect with everyday activities.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Evangelia works with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Decisions are made together and can change as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller interaction is helpful. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief updates, ongoing support between sessions, or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while working with registered or accredited professionals.
