About Elisabeta

Elisabeta Oltean is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with six years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, and other concerns common in early adulthood such as career pressure and coping with life changes.

Elisabeta uses a mix of approaches to support clients. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centred ways of working, Existential ideas, Mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing to help people notice what matters to them and take small practical steps. Sessions are conversational and focus on what the person wants to change.

Clients can expect straightforward tools and exercises to practise between sessions. Elisabeta pays attention to patterns that come from family of origin, attachment and abandonment issues, and relationship dynamics. She also addresses body image, codependency, commitment and communication problems when these come up.

She works with people on issues around intimacy, sleeping, parenting strain and caregiver stress, as well as anger and self-esteem concerns. Career coaching and support for life transitions are part of her offering for those navigating early work and study pressures.

Elisabeta speaks English and Romanian and accepts clients from other countries. Practical details such as session cost and formats vary by location and subscription model, so readers should confirm current arrangements when they book.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying what matters to the client and building small, committed actions around those values. It helps with anxiety, low mood and feeling stuck by encouraging practical steps rather than only changing thoughts.

Client-Centred work prioritises the person’s perspective and uses reflective conversation to clarify goals and feelings. It can help people who feel misunderstood or who want space to work through identity, relationship and family concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Elisabeta will discuss goals, needs and preferences and together they will try methods that fit the person’s life. That collaborative stance means approaches can shift as the client learns what helps most.

Session formats and practical arrangements should be confirmed before booking. The subscription pricing model is used for sessions and can be cancelled at any time. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time for those balancing study, early career roles and other commitments.
