Katya Olateju, NCPS

Katya Olateju works from a person-centred, practical approach to help people manage stress, anxiety and life transitions. She combines acceptance and commitment techniques with attachment and emotionally focused ideas to create straightforward plans. Katya is described by clients as warm and respectful and brings 16 years of experience to each session.

She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify their values and take small steps that feel meaningful. Attachment-based ideas support understanding patterns in relationships and how early bonds can shape current responses. Emotionally focused and client-centred methods are used to help people name feelings and try new ways of communicating.

Katya helps with challenges such as parenting pressures, low self-esteem, career worries and coping with major life changes. She also works on more sensitive issues like trauma, intimacy questions, eating or sleeping difficulty, anger and grief. Additional areas of focus include adoption and foster care, blended family issues and caregiver stress.

Sessions are tailored to each person and adjusted as work progresses. Conversations are practical and grounded, with tools people can use between appointments. Katya offers support in English and French and accepts international clients.

She holds NCPS as her stated credential and draws on sixteen years of practice in the United Kingdom. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions that suit their needs.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people identify what matters to them and take small, values-based steps even when feelings are difficult. It is useful for anxiety, stress and motivation struggles. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how past relationships shape current patterns and teaches ways to build more secure connections and calmer reactions in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that match the person's goals and preferences, and adapt techniques as progress is made. That shared planning helps keep sessions relevant and practical.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls suit in-depth conversations and visual rapport building. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text work well for shorter reflections, ongoing coaching-style support or when written thinking helps process emotions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family and travel commitments.
