About Katya
Katya Olateju is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has 16 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, parenting pressures, low self-esteem, and career difficulties. She also helps with issues around trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, eating and sleeping problems, anger, and ADHD.
Katya uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, client-centred work, and mindfulness. In sessions she focuses on feelings that can be hard to name and on the interaction patterns that keep problems repeating. She offers practical ways to notice emotional responses and then choose different actions.
People see Katya for short-term support and for longer work through deeper patterns. She supports coping with life changes, parenting strains, blended family dynamics, adoption and foster care matters, and caregiver stress. She also addresses body image, codependency, communication problems, and midlife questions.
Katya speaks English and French and works with people who are based in different countries. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. If someone wants to begin, they are invited to use the online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first appointment.
Her style is straightforward and person-focused. Sessions aim to help people name their emotions, understand how those feelings affect choices, and practise new ways of responding in daily life.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and working with strong emotions and the interaction patterns they create. It can help people notice what they feel in the moment and practise new ways of responding in relationships and daily life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasises noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without fighting them and clarifying valued directions for action. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and making steady changes when life feels stuck. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early patterns in close relationships and how they show up now. It can be helpful for people who want to understand why they react in certain ways to intimacy and closeness. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, personal preferences and practical needs, and together decide which combination of methods to use. This is a collaborative process that can be reviewed as therapy progresses. Please confirm the exact session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and other commitments, and they can allow shorter check-ins or sessions without video when that suits a client. Registered or accredited professionals often help clients choose what will fit their life and goals.Areas of expertise
