About Elisabeta

Elisabeta Oltean is a counsellor who aims to help people feel steadier when life feels overwhelming. She focuses on everyday problems like stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship strain. Sessions are offered in English and Romanian and she works with people in the United Kingdom and internationally.

Elisabeta uses an integrative, person-centred style that draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness. She encourages practical steps you can try between sessions to manage worry, sleep problems, low mood and confidence.

Background and approach

Conversations are grounded and clear, so people leave with at least one small thing to try. With six years of professional experience, she has supported people through trauma and abuse, addictions, family-of-origin issues and difficult life transitions. She also works with intimacy and sexuality concerns, anger, codependency and career questions.

Elisabeta pays attention to the patterns behind problems, such as attachment and abandonment wounds, and helps people build different patterns over time. Her approach includes motivational interviewing techniques to help people clarify what they want and take the next step. Narrative ideas are used to look at the stories people tell about themselves and test alternatives.

Mindfulness practices are offered for managing stress and improving sleep. People who choose her can expect a collaborative process that balances emotional work with practical change. The focus is on learning tools, strengthening self-trust and finding ways to cope with life’s ups and downs.

How Elisabeta’s approaches work online

Elisabeta draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy as core strands of her online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, and focuses on taking small steps that match what matters to you. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding so people feel heard and can find their own solutions.

She treats finding the right approach as a joint task. During early sessions she will check what matters to you, try a few techniques and agree together which methods feel helpful. The process is collaborative and flexible so therapy can shift as your goals change.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and exercises, phone can be easier when bandwidth is low, and chat or messaging works for shorter check-ins and written reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel and daily commitments while keeping the same therapist relationship.
