About Elisabeta

Elisabeta Oltean helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief and intimacy-related issues. She works in English and Romanian and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, with six years' experience.

Elisabeta uses a mix of counselling styles to suit the person in front of her. She often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients notice and move through difficult thoughts. Client-Centred Therapy is used to keep sessions focused on the client's perspective and priorities. Existential and Mindfulness approaches are also part of her work when people need help with meaning or present-moment coping.

Sessions address practical problems as well as painful personal history. She helps people with parenting stress, sleep problems, low self-esteem, communication and career worries. There is also support for issues such as codependency, abandonment, body image, caregiver stress and divorce or separation.

Elisabeta also uses Motivational Interviewing when people want help with change and recovery from addictive behaviours. Her style is straightforward and goal-oriented when clients want coaching for career moves or life transitions.

People living outside the UK may also work with her; she accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches are used in online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that matter to them rather than getting stuck in avoidance. It is useful for anxiety, stress and problems that centre on avoidance or rumination.

Client-Centred Therapy keeps the focus on the client's experience and priorities. The counsellor listens, reflects and follows what the person brings to the session to help them find their own solutions.

Existential therapy looks at questions of meaning, values and responsibility. It can be helpful when life changes, grief or feelings of emptiness are getting in the way of daily life.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. Elisabeta will discuss goals and preferences and will try different methods to see what helps most. This is a collaborative process where the person's needs guide the choice of techniques.

Check which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into work and family schedules, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, often adapt session length and timing to suit people juggling busy lives.
