About Katya

Katya Olateju helps people address stress, anxiety, self-esteem and life changes using conversational, goal-focused counselling. She works with issues around parenting, career strain, relationships, trauma and sleep, and offers support for eating, anger and attention-related concerns. Katya practises in the United Kingdom and is registered with NCPS. She has 16 years of professional experience.

Katya uses methods drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centred approaches. Sessions typically involve clear, practical conversations about what is getting in the way and small steps a person can try between meetings. She also draws on emotionally focused and mindfulness-based ideas when they fit a person's needs.

In practice she listens for patterns in how people manage emotions and relationships. Then she helps them notice alternatives and try new ways of responding. This can include checking how values and priorities guide decisions, and working on communication or boundaries when relationships are strained.

Katya has worked with a wide range of concerns across 16 years. That experience informs a flexible style that balances supportive listening with practical skills and exercises. Sessions are conducted in English and French as required.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Fees vary by location and the service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. Confirm current session formats before booking.

How her therapeutic approaches work in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and helping them take small, practical steps in line with those values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and life changes because it builds flexible responses rather than trying to eliminate difficult feelings. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how past bonds affect present connections; it can be helpful for intimacy, family and relationship concerns.

The choice of approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, try methods in session and adjust the focus based on what helps most. This is a collaborative process that mixes talking, noticing patterns and practising new ways of responding between meetings.

Confirm the current session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed and remove travel time. Phone or video sessions may be practical alternatives depending on a person's circumstances, so check available formats before you schedule.
