About Elisabeta

Elisabeta Oltean is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with six years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, anger, relationship and family concerns, depression, addictions and related life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Romanian and she accepts international clients.

Elisabeta uses a practical, person-focused approach. She centres conversations on the client’s internal dialogue and on finding simple techniques that can be used day to day. The aim is to help people notice patterns, reduce impulsive reactions and build steadier ways of responding in relationships and at work.

Her work draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centred ideas, Existential thinking, Mindfulness practices and Motivational Interviewing. These are used to help people clarify values, increase awareness of thoughts and feelings, and find motivation for change. Sessions can include guided reflection and short experiential exercises.

Elisabeta also pays attention to family of origin themes, attachment and abandonment issues, body image and caregiver stress. She supports people coping with grief, intimacy-related concerns, parenting strain and career transitions. Practical tools and focused conversation are used alongside reflective work.

She describes therapy as a collaborative process where the client’s own resources are central. People are encouraged to practise short exercises between sessions and to notice small changes that build over time. To begin, clients complete a brief questionnaire and then schedule an initial session.

How her approaches translate to online work

Elisabeta often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Mindfulness Therapy in her work. ACT focuses on clarifying what matters to the client and taking small actions that match those values, which helps with anger, resentment and career choices. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness skills to notice impulses and calm the body, useful for managing stress and reactive moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She aims to work collaboratively to identify which methods feel most helpful for the person’s goals and preferences. That conversation can happen in early sessions and be adjusted over time as needs change.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work or family commitments, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt exercises and homework for remote sessions so practical skills can be practised between meetings.
