Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
Hello! I’m Evangelia, a CBT Therapist originally from Greece, now based in Edinburgh.
My journey into therapy began in my teenage years, driven by a desire to understand myself better, build resilience, and form relationships rooted in respect, autonomy, and compassion. This personal exploration led me to study Psychology, first in Athens, and later in Scotland, where I completed a bachelor’s degree in psychology at Napier University, followed by an MSc in Children and Young People’s Mental Health at the University of Edinburgh.
My interest in evidence-based and practical approaches led me to complete a Diploma in Counselling and Groupwork (CBT approach) in 2019. During my placement, I provided one-to-one therapy for individuals struggling with anxiety and low mood and co-facilitated psychoeducational workshops on depression and challenging negative thinking at various mental health organisations in Edinburgh.
Since then, I’ve been working in private practice, supporting adults with a range of issues including anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem, and relationship difficulties. My approach is warm, collaborative, and compassionate, offering a safe and confidential space to explore what’s bringing you to therapy and how we can support meaningful change.
I’m deeply committed to ongoing professional and personal development. I’ve completed additional training in Trauma-Focused Therapy and currently attending a training in Transactional Analysis, which help me better understand my clients’ experiences and offer tools to support emotional healing and insight. I am particularly interested in exploring self confidence issues and negative thinking patterns alongside feelings of not belonging.
For me, therapy is a space of connection, reflection, and transformation. I feel honoured to walk alongside each of my clients in their journey toward greater self-awareness, growth, and wellbeing.

Many people ask whether online therapy can really help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties or navigating life changes, online therapy has been found to be as effective as traditional in-person sessions for most people.
One major benefit is flexibility – clients can connect in the way that suits them best, whether that is video calls, phone sessions, live chat or in-app messaging. This adaptability makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
Sessions are delivered by licensed professionals and clients can change therapists at any time if they seek a different fit. The convenience and range of communication options mean online therapy can be a practical route to consistent support and progress.
