About Katya

Katya Olateju is a counsellor who blends practical therapy with warm, respectful care. She uses approaches that help people manage stress, anxiety and changes in life. Katya works with parents and individuals on confidence, motivation and parenting-related concerns.

She speaks English and French and practises from the United Kingdom with 16 years of experience and NCPS credentialing. Katya keeps conversations clear and down to earth. Sessions focus on what the person wants to change and on small steps that fit everyday life.

Background and approach

She adapts the pace and tools to each person rather than following one fixed method. Many people bring worries about work, relationships or sleep and leave with clearer plans and calmer thinking. Her background includes long-term clinical experience helping people cope after loss, trauma and major life transitions.

That experience shapes a steady, patient approach to difficult topics like domestic violence, grief and adoption-related concerns. Katya draws on therapies that address emotions, attachment styles and values to guide her work. In practice she mixes acceptance and commitment ideas with mindfulness and emotionally focused techniques.

That combination supports people to notice unhelpful patterns, strengthen important relationships and take values-led action. She also uses client-centred listening to make space for each person’s story. People who want practical changes and clearer direction often find her style useful.

She aims to empower rather than instruct, and to help clients build skills they can use between sessions. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Katya commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside client-centred listening. ACT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on actions that match their values, which can reduce avoidance and increase meaningful change. Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on emotional experience and connection, helping people understand feelings and improve how they relate to themselves and others. Client-Centred Therapy provides space for people to be heard without judgement and to lead the pace of their work.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Katya works collaboratively to find methods that match each person’s goals and preferences. She will discuss options during early sessions and adjust the plan as needs evolve, aiming for a fit that feels practical and respectful.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit support into busy lives. Video sessions are helpful when visual cues matter, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat suit shorter check-ins or flexible scheduling. These formats expand access for people who live farther away or prefer not to travel, while still allowing the therapeutic work to continue effectively.
