About Elisabeta

Elisabeta Oltean is a counsellor who focuses on helping people who are struggling with sleep, stress and everyday pressures. She works in a straightforward, down-to-earth way to help people untangle anxiety, grief, relationship strain and the impact of past hurts. Sessions aim to build small, practical skills that can improve rest and daily coping.

Elisabeta draws on six years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She blends several therapy styles to suit each person’s needs rather than following one fixed method. That means conversations are guided by what matters most to the client, whether it is reducing worry at night, navigating a breakup, or managing work stress.

In the room she uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy techniques to help people notice their thoughts without getting locked into them. Client-Centred Therapy is used to create a calm, accepting space where people can speak freely. Mindfulness practices are offered to help with sleep, grounding and reducing rumination.

She also works with issues such as addiction, intimacy difficulties, parenting strain, self-esteem and career transitions. Additional focuses include attachment and family of origin themes, abandonment, codependency and ageing concerns. Language options include English and Romanian for people inside and outside the UK.

People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions through the site. The service uses a cancellable subscription model for sessions, so costs vary by location and scheduling.

How her approaches work well online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and supports taking small actions that match personal values. It can be useful for sleep struggles, anxiety and coping with life changes. Client-Centred Therapy offers a non-judgemental space where the person sets the pace and topics for exploration, which can help with trust and gentle progress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce rumination and support better rest. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as therapy progresses. Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting conversations into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to maintain continuity when people live in different places, and they can be a straightforward way to practise short mindfulness exercises between meetings. The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking to make sure they fit your daily routine.
