Katya Olateju, NCPS

Katya Olateju is a counsellor with 16 years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom. She focuses on practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and career shifts. Katya aims to create a respectful and compassionate space where people can talk through what matters to them and decide on next steps.

She adapts conversations and plans to each person’s needs. That might mean looking at how thoughts and values shape choices, strengthening close relationships, or using mindfulness to manage difficult feelings. Katya also addresses parenting strains, midlife questions and challenges related to trauma and abuse.

Her approach draws on several well-known methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based ideas and Client-Centred work. These approaches guide how she helps people clarify priorities, rebuild connection and practise new ways of coping.

Katya works with a broad range of concerns such as relationship and intimacy issues, sleep and eating difficulties, anger, caregiver stress and life purpose. She also supports people navigating adoption and blended family challenges, aging and geriatric issues, and concerns linked to ADHD.

Sessions are offered in English and French and Katya accepts international clients. She asks people to use the Start Therapy button, fill a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule according to her availability. Costs vary with location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take actions that match those values. It is often used when someone feels stuck, is coping with life changes, or is dealing with anxiety and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds influence current reactions; it can help with intimacy issues and rebuilding connection.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and then try methods that fit the person. This is collaborative, with adjustments made as progress and understanding develop.

The therapist's profile does not specify session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow someone to check in from a quieter place. They can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera for shorter check-ins or who need flexible scheduling.
