Evangelia became a qualified occupational therapist in 1998-1999. Soon after, she moved to the UK with a Greek scholarship to complete her MSc in Pediatric Occupational Therapy at the University of East London. Over the years, she has worked across inpatient units, community services, private practices, and NHS trusts—both in the UK and abroad. Each experience has shaped her versatile and holistic approach.
Not only is Evangelia a clinical expert, but she also excels in adolescent mental health recovery and sensory integration. She provides personalized therapy that includes psychoeducation, sensory strategies, and coaching. Her goal-oriented approach empowers young people to gain new skills and rediscover existing ones. Families find her guidance invaluable during challenging periods.
Currently, Evangelia serves as the Head of Adult Mental Health Services in East London’s community settings. Simultaneously, she works as the Lead OT in a Psychiatric Intensive Care Unit for Adolescents. Her leadership spans multiple settings and includes managing services, mentoring therapists, and shaping clinical strategies that prioritize children’s well-being.
Alongside her NHS role, Evangelia spent over 17 years teaching in a Greek school. There, she supported students needing help with attention, emotional regulation, and handwriting. Additionally, she assessed developmental delays and emotional dysregulation, ensuring that learning became an empowering experience for every child.
Evangelia has also led a therapeutic school and served as the Head of Clinical Service for Pediatric OT in West London. Her work with children affected by developmental trauma showcases her dedication to therapeutic education. She engages not just with the child, but also with schools, colleges, and families to create an inclusive and supportive network.
What sets Evangelia apart is her belief that every child can thrive. She listens carefully, understands deeply, and implements the most effective strategies with compassion. No matter the situation, she remains a steady source of support and inspiration. Above all, her work comes from the heart.
Evangelia Theochari Occupational Therapist London is looking forward to meeting you and working with your child to build resilience, independence, and joy in everyday life.
