About Elisabeta
Elisabeta Oltean offers calm, steady support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, loss, or big life changes. She helps clients notice how their body and thoughts respond to pressure, and works with them to find ways to feel more grounded and able to cope. Elisabeta speaks English and Romanian and practices from the United Kingdom.
Elisabeta uses an integrative style that brings attention to bodily experience alongside talking. Sessions often include simple grounding and breathing practices, and space to make sense of difficult feelings.
Background and approach
This approach is useful when anxiety, low mood, grief or relationship strain feel stuck in the body as well as the mind. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Existential ideas and Mindfulness to help people clarify values, notice unhelpful patterns and take small, practical steps. Work is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.
Elisabeta aims to make therapy straightforward and usable between sessions. Her background includes six years of professional practice and registration with the BACP. That experience informs a steady, practical approach to common concerns such as addiction, sleep problems, anger and parenting stress.
She also supports people facing identity, intimacy and career questions. Online sessions are available in several formats. Elisabeta’s style suits people who want a warm, down-to-earth counsellor who pays attention to both body and story.
Initial steps are simple and designed to help someone feel comfortable from the first session.
How somatic and values-based approaches work online
Elisabeta combines Somatic work with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice how stress shows up in the body and then take values-led action. Somatic work involves simple body awareness and grounding practices that help reduce tension and increase present-moment clarity. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting driven by them and choosing small actions that match what matters to you.She also uses Client-Centred principles to keep sessions warm and collaborative. That means the counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said and follows the person’s pace rather than imposing a set plan. Together the client and therapist decide which methods feel most helpful and adjust as the work progresses.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face connection when that feels important, while phone, live chat and text sessions offer flexibility for people who prefer less visual intensity or need to work around schedules. These options help people keep momentum between sessions and practice techniques in their everyday environment.
