Evangelina Bailo, HCPC

Evangelina Bailo is a counsellor registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and has 15 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She focuses on practical ways to address worries about family life, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, stress and anxiety. Her approach is straightforward and respectful, aimed at helping people feel heard and understood.

Evangelina adapts conversations and plans to each person's situation. Sessions centre on what the person wants to change and on small, manageable steps to get there. She pays attention to thinking patterns and everyday habits that keep problems going, and she works with clients to try new ways of responding.

She also offers help with parenting concerns and relationship difficulties, and with issues such as attachment, obsessive thoughts and compulsions, body image, and isolation. Evangelina is used to supporting people after traumatic experiences and in times of life change. Her practice combines practical suggestions with time to talk through difficult feelings.

Evangelina speaks English and Spanish, so she can carry out sessions in either language. She aims to match her style to each client, whether someone needs direct coping tools or a calmer space to work through painful memories. The first meetings are used to set goals and decide what will be most useful going forward.

Signing up starts with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session based on therapist availability. She reminds people that taking the first step often takes courage and offers steady support through the early stages of change.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online therapy

Evangelina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and everyday habits. One approach targets the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and helps people test new ways of thinking to reduce anxiety and low mood. Another approach works on rituals and repetitive behaviours, offering practical strategies to manage obsessive thoughts and compulsive actions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss goals and preferences with each person and together decide which techniques to try. This is a collaborative process that may adapt over time as needs change.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by removing travel time and allowing appointments around work or childcare. Different session arrangements have different practical benefits, so confirm the formats Evangelina currently offers before booking. The goal is to make therapy usable and relevant to everyday routines while focusing on the thinking patterns and habits that matter most.
