About Katya

Katya Olateju works from a client-centred perspective that places the person at the heart of therapy. She uses clear conversation and practical steps to help people manage stress, anxiety and life changes. Katya aims to build a respectful, understanding space where people can talk about what matters most to them.

With 16 years of professional experience, Katya brings a grounded approach to common struggles such as low self‑esteem, motivation and career difficulties. She also supports people facing parenting challenges, intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, and problems with sleep or eating. Her work often addresses relationship patterns and family concerns in individual sessions.

Katya adapts each plan to someone’s needs rather than offering a one-size-fits-all model. She blends client-centred work with approaches that include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment‑Based ideas, Emotionally‑Focused Therapy and mindfulness practices. This mix lets her focus on real-life goals alongside emotional healing.

She describes therapy as a collaborative process that asks for small steps and steady effort. Sessions aim to help people notice what matters to them, try new ways of responding, and build routines that support wellbeing. The NCPS credential is shown as part of her professional details.

Sessions are offered in English and French and she works with people in the United Kingdom and internationally. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client‑centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and helping the person set their own goals. It means conversations are shaped around what the client needs and values, which can fit well into online sessions where dialogue and reflection are central.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to values‑based actions. Online work using ACT can support changes in everyday routines, such as tackling avoidance, improving sleep habits or managing anxiety around work and parenting.

Attachment‑based ideas look at how early patterns influence current relationships and emotional responses. In remote sessions this often means talking through relationship patterns, repairing connection strategies and practising new ways of responding in real life.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss options and adjust methods to match goals, preferences and what feels manageable. Clients and therapist decide together what to try and how to measure progress.

Session formats are not listed explicitly in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around work, childcare or travel, and it can reduce commuting time. It also allows shorter check‑ins when needed and flexible scheduling that helps people keep momentum between sessions.
