About Elisabeta
Elisabeta Oltean is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with six years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationships, family issues, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, intimacy concerns and codependency. Sessions are offered in English and Romanian and she accepts international clients.
Elisabeta takes a practical, person-focused approach in sessions. She listens to how a problem plays out day to day and helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck. That might mean looking at how people-pleasing or difficulty saying no shows up, how old family habits still shape decisions, or how avoidance and control affect relationships and work.
Her practice draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centred methods and existential ideas alongside mindfulness and motivational interviewing. She uses these approaches to help people clarify values, practise small changes and build steady habits for managing anxiety, grief or addictive urges. Sessions tend to emphasise concrete skills and real-life experiments rather than long theory talks.
Elisabeta also pays attention to attachment, abandonment and body image concerns when they come up. She supports people coping with life changes such as divorce, caregiving stress or career shifts, and addresses intimacy and sexual wellbeing issues when clients bring them.
If someone wants to start, they complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Elisabeta commonly blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centred work in sessions. ACT focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and practising small, values-based actions to reduce the hold of anxiety or avoidance. Client-centred methods centre the conversation on the person’s own concerns and pace, allowing them to lead what matters most.She also draws on existential ideas to help people examine meaning, freedom and responsibility when life shifts feel overwhelming. These approaches work well for relationship problems, codependency patterns, grief, and coping with life transitions because they mix reflection with practical steps and short in-session experiments.
Finding the right mix of methods is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust what she uses based on what a client finds helpful. That means the plan can change across sessions as priorities and needs become clearer.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare or travel. It can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or let someone choose audio rather than video if that helps them concentrate. Registered or accredited professionals including counsellors and therapists commonly use these practical benefits to support ongoing work.
