Evangelia Botsaki

Evangelia Botsaki is a CBT therapist originally from Greece and now based in Edinburgh, United Kingdom. She brings five years of clinical experience to her private practice, supporting adults with difficulties such as anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem and relationship challenges.

Her interest in mental health began in adolescence and led her to study psychology in both Athens and Scotland. Evangelia completed a bachelor’s degree in psychology at Napier University and went on to earn an MSc in Children and Young People’s Mental Health at the University of Edinburgh.

Evangelia trained in a practical, evidence-informed way, achieving a Diploma in Counselling and Groupwork (CBT approach) in 2019. During her placement she provided one-to-one therapy for people experiencing anxiety and low mood, and co-facilitated psychoeducational workshops on depression and challenging negative thinking across mental health organisations in Edinburgh.

She has continued her professional development with additional training in Trauma-Focused Therapy and is currently attending training in Transactional Analysis. Evangelia adopts a warm, collaborative and compassionate approach, offering a safe and confidential space to explore what brings someone to therapy and to work toward meaningful change. She has a particular interest in self-confidence issues, negative thinking patterns and feelings of not belonging, and feels honoured to accompany clients on their journeys toward greater self-awareness and wellbeing.
