Elisabeta Oltean , BACP

Elisabeta Oltean is a BACP-registered therapist based in the United Kingdom with six years of practice supporting people through a wide range of life challenges. She offers an integrative, person-centered approach that blends evidence-informed therapies to help clients build motivation, strengthen self-esteem, and develop more constructive internal dialogue. Elisabeta works collaboratively with individuals and couples, helping them navigate relationship difficulties, family dynamics, career transitions, grief, trauma, addiction, and the everyday stresses that can undermine wellbeing.

Fluent in English and Romanian, she accepts clients from the UK and internationally, tailoring sessions to each person’s culture, background, and goals. Her work often focuses on practical coping strategies alongside deeper exploration of patterns such as attachment, abandonment, codependency, and family of origin issues. Elisabeta also supports clients dealing with anxiety, depression, sleeping problems, parenting challenges, anger, intimacy and sexual concerns, and questions about identity and life purpose.

She emphasizes a respectful, empathetic therapeutic relationship in which clients are invited to access their own inner resources and make sustainable changes. For couples, Elisabeta helps partners slow down, reconnect emotionally during times of distress, and practice clearer communication to strengthen their bond. She is currently accepting new clients and offers several formats for therapy to accommodate different needs and schedules.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Elisabeta commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered and Mindfulness approaches in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being overwhelmed by them, then commit to actions that reflect their values - it is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on offering empathic, nonjudgmental support so clients can explore their experiences at their own pace and strengthen self-understanding and confidence. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness practices that reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, supporting issues like depression, sleep problems, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Elisabeta works collaboratively with each person to identify methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so therapy remains relevant and practical.

Online therapy with Elisabeta is offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, access support from different locations, and continue care during life changes, while allowing therapists and clients to focus on clear, goal-driven work together.
