About Katya
Counsellor and NCPS registrant Katya Olateju has 16 years of professional experience supporting people in the United Kingdom. She works with issues such as stress, anxiety, parenting, self-esteem, career difficulties and coping with life changes. Sessions are offered in English and French, and she accepts international clients.
Katya uses approaches drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Mindfulness. She focuses on practical conversations that help people notice what matters to them and practise new ways of responding. Sessions tend to be conversational and reflective rather than didactic.
Her background includes long-term work with people facing relationship strains, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related problems, and challenges around eating, sleeping and anger. She also lists additional focus areas such as adoption and foster care, blended family issues, caregiver stress and midlife concerns. This range reflects many years working with a variety of life-stage and relational difficulties.
Katya describes her work as collaborative. She aims to adapt the pace and focus to each person’s situation. People can expect to discuss goals, try out small experiments between sessions, and review progress over time.
Practical arrangements use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients use the online matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial session. The first meeting is used to set aims and decide how to work together.
Therapeutic approaches and how online counselling can work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small actions in line with those values. It can be useful for anxiety, low motivation and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how past experiences affect current connections. This approach can help with trust, intimacy and relationship strains.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Katya will discuss different methods and agree which to try based on a person’s goals and preferences. The first few sessions are used to test what helps and to adjust the plan together.
The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare and travel. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or sessions without video when bandwidth is limited. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, use online sessions to maintain continuity of contact and to work on practical steps between meetings.
