About Elisabeta

Elisabeta Oltean offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or big life changes. She welcomes conversations about relationships, grief, addictions, career strain and low self‑esteem. Sessions look at everyday thoughts and habits to help people notice what keeps them stuck and where small changes might help. Elisabeta works in English and Romanian and is based in the United Kingdom.

Elisabeta uses a mix of approaches to suit each person’s needs. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and choose meaningful actions. Client‑centred work keeps the sessions paced by the client, with the counsellor following the person’s lead. Existential ideas help when people feel lost or face life transitions, prompting questions about values and purpose.

Her background includes six years of professional experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP. Elisabeta has helped people address everyday habits, family of origin issues, attachment and communication problems, and intimacy or sexual wellbeing concerns.

Work in sessions is conversational and down to earth. She encourages simple practices such as mindfulness and small behavioural changes to shift routines. Coaching elements can be used to set practical steps for career or life goals.

People choosing to meet her should expect a supportive space to talk through worries and to build doable strategies that fit daily life.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Elisabeta blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client‑centred work to help people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values. ACT focuses on recognising difficult thoughts and committing to small steps that matter. Client‑centred counselling places the person’s experience at the heart of each session and follows their pace and priorities.

Existential ideas are also used when people face life transitions or questions about purpose. These conversations explore meaning and priorities rather than offering quick fixes. Together these methods aim to change everyday habits and improve how people live day to day, not just to talk about problems.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals and try different ways of working to see what fits. Clients and the counsellor decide together which practices and exercises to keep and which to adapt.

The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and saving travel time. Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to use short check‑ins, guided mindfulness practices or coaching tasks between meetings to support change in everyday habits.
