Elly Oka, BACP

Elly Oka is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of practice. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and relationship-related concerns including codependency. She also supports people facing grief, self-esteem struggles, career challenges and addictions.

Her way of working is straightforward and practical. She treats the person, not the label, and starts by listening to what matters most to the client. Sessions focus on clear steps clients can try between appointments, alongside talking through feelings and reactions.

Elly draws on a mix of approaches to match the client’s needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people choose actions that fit their values. She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try different responses. Attachment-based ideas inform her exploration of how early relationships shape current patterns.

Sessions are oriented toward building skills for everyday life. That can mean practising boundary-setting, managing anxiety, addressing codependent tendencies, or planning for changes at work or home. She encourages experimentation with small changes and checks in about what works.

Her background and methods suit people who want practical tools alongside reflective conversation. She accepts clients from outside the UK and offers services in English. Before booking, clients should confirm the available session formats and practical details through the site.
