About Elisabeta

Elisabeta Oltean offers support to people dealing with anger and related struggles. She aims to help clients who feel stuck by giving them practical ways to notice patterns, calm intense reactions and make choices that match their values. Elisabeta works in clear, down-to-earth language and speaks English and Romanian. Elisabeta draws on six years of professional experience and a BACP registration. Her sessions focus on strengthening a person’s own resources rather than imposing one right way. She uses methods that encourage awareness of thoughts and feelings, and helps people try small experiments to change what isn’t working. Her approach blends acceptance and commitment ideas with client-centred listening and mindfulness practices. In a typical session she will help a person notice what triggers their anger, name the underlying needs, and practice short exercises to reduce reactivity. She also uses motivational interviewing and narrative techniques to support change when motivation or life stories get in the way. People come to her for a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, addiction, sleeping problems, parenting worries, self-esteem and major life changes. She also works with issues such as abandonment, attachment patterns, codependency and family of origin problems. Sessions are presented in a straightforward, collaborative way. Prospective clients are invited to begin by completing a brief matching questionnaire and then arrange a session according to the scheduling options offered on the site.

How her approaches translate to online work

Elisabeta uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them, then commit to actions that match their values. This can help with anger, avoidance and life changes by focusing on small, meaningful steps.

She also uses Client-Centred Therapy which prioritises listening and creating a respectful space for a person to talk through struggles. That approach supports people who need someone to patiently reflect what they are going through and to build trust at their own pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Elisabeta will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then shape sessions around those choices. The process is collaborative and may combine methods over time to suit changing needs.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a normal week and reducing travel time. Online appointments can make it easier to keep regular contact during busy periods and to try techniques between meetings. Confirm the current session options before booking so arrangements match your schedule and needs.
