About Katya
Katya Olateju is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has 16 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and difficulties around parenting and relationships.
Clients often bring issues about coping with life changes, career pressure, sleep and eating problems, anger and intimacy-related worries. Katya also supports people affected by trauma and abuse and those working through adoption, foster care and blended family stresses.
Her way of working is conversational and practical. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on steps a person can try between meetings. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-informed ideas, emotionally-focused approaches and mindfulness techniques to help people notice patterns and try small changes.
Katya offers help in English and French and accepts international clients. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients use the online matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session via the platform.
She aims to adapt talks and plans to each person's situation. Meetings tend to look at priorities at home and at work, and at practical ways to ease stress and improve communication. The emphasis is on clear, manageable steps rather than long lists of theory.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and learning to act in line with personal values. It can help when anxiety, low mood or avoidance get in the way of family life or work. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape present-day reactions. This can be useful for understanding communication problems and intimacy-related issues. Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the centre and uses listening and reflection to help them find their own solutions and build confidence.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your priorities and try different ways of working together. Decisions about which methods to use come from the client's goals, practical needs and preferences, not from a fixed formula.
The original biography does not specify particular session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into busy family schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can use conversational tools, mindfulness exercises and values-based tasks within remote sessions to help people apply changes in daily life.
