Elisabeta Oltean
Practical, values-based counselling for life changes
About Elisabeta
Elisabeta Oltean helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, loss, relationship problems or life changes. She works with issues such as depression, trauma, addictions, self-esteem, intimacy concerns and career strain. Elisabeta speaks English and Romanian and sees people in the United Kingdom and internationally.
She holds BACP registration which shows a professional commitment to counselling standards. Her approach is practical and person-focused. Sessions aim to help people notice what matters to them, build simple coping habits, and make small changes that add up.
Background and approach
She often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness to help clients relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings. Elisabeta also uses client-centred and existential ideas to encourage honest conversation about values, choices and meaning. Motivational interviewing informs work on behaviour change, such as addressing addictions or improving sleep.
The emphasis is on pacing work to the individual and finding techniques that fit everyday life. She has six years of counselling experience and a background addressing family of origin issues, abandonment, attachment difficulties, codependency and communication problems. Elisabeta helps with parenting strain, caregiver stress, ageing and body image concerns as part of broader personal work.
Practical arrangements include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Sessions are delivered via a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions to suit them.

How these approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what truly matters to them and take small steps toward those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress and navigating life changes.Mindfulness-based work teaches straightforward attention exercises and daily habits to reduce reactivity and improve sleep and emotional regulation. This can help when overwhelm, anger or grieving make everyday life harder.
Client-centred principles mean conversations focus on the person's experience with warmth and curiosity, giving space to reflect on relationships, meaning and choices. That approach supports work on attachment issues, self-esteem and communication problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Elisabeta will work collaboratively to identify techniques that fit the person's goals and circumstances, adjusting the blend of ACT, mindfulness and client-centred conversation as therapy progresses.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a work break or a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer written reflection or want to process between sessions. These options increase flexibility and make it easier to keep therapy consistent alongside a busy life.
