Evangelia Botsaki, BACP

Evangelia Botsaki trained in psychology after growing up in Greece and now practices in Edinburgh, bringing a thoughtful, evidence-based approach to her work. Her interest in therapy began in adolescence and guided her studies in Athens and later in Scotland, where she earned 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.

She completed a Diploma in Counselling and Groupwork with a CBT approach in 2019, and during that placement she offered one-to-one support for people experiencing anxiety and low mood while co-facilitating psychoeducational workshops on depression and strategies for challenging negative thinking at several mental health organisations in Edinburgh. Since then, she has worked in private practice, supporting adults with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and mood challenges.

Her clinical style is warm, collaborative, and compassionate, informed by Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Trauma-Focused Therapy. She has pursued additional training in Trauma-Focused Therapy and is currently training in Transactional Analysis, which deepen her understanding of clients’ patterns and offer practical tools for emotional healing. She has a particular interest in issues around self-confidence, negative thinking patterns, and feelings of not belonging. Evangelia approaches therapy as a space for connection, reflection, and transformation and is committed to supporting each person toward greater self-awareness and wellbeing.
