Elisabeta Oltean, BACP

Elisabeta Oltean offers short, practical help for people feeling stressed, anxious or stuck. She works with individuals who are facing relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem, addictions or big life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Romanian and she sees clients in the United Kingdom as well as internationally.

Elisabeta uses several human-focused approaches that encourage self-reflection and action. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centred methods to help people notice what matters and take small, useful steps. Mindfulness and Motivational Interviewing are part of her toolkit to support emotional regulation and motivation.

She has six years of professional experience and is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which is shown as BACP. That background informs how she frames conversations and sets practical goals with clients. Elisabeta keeps language simple so people can use what they learn between sessions.

Common issues she helps with include stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, sleep difficulties, parenting concerns and career uncertainty. Additional focuses include attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, codependency, communication problems and divorce or separation matters.

Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. People can expect empathic listening, clear questions and collaborative planning aimed at small, steady changes.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on personal values. In sessions, this often means choosing small actions that match what matters most and practising them between meetings. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting; the counsellor follows the person's lead, offers empathy and helps the person make sense of their own experience. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve sleep and concentration.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Elisabeta will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to emphasise acceptance work, mindfulness practice or person-centred conversations and then adjust as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel. Video lets people speak face to face, phone can need less bandwidth, live chat is good for shorter check-ins and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people access consistent support even when schedules are busy or travel is difficult.
