About Katya

Katya Olateju is a counsellor registered with the NCPS with 16 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people who want help managing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, life changes, parenting challenges and anger. Sessions are conducted in English and French, and she accepts international clients.

Katya focuses on practical conversations. She uses approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based work and Client-Centred methods to help people understand what matters to them and to build small, steady changes. She talks through worries about career, relationships and sleep, and helps people notice patterns that make anger and frustration feel bigger.

Her background includes long-term practice with issues such as trauma, intimacy-related concerns, eating and body image, and ADHD. That experience informs how she plans sessions and sets short-term goals with each person. She pays attention to how past relationships shape present reactions and to the everyday habits that keep stress looping.

Katya aims for clear, doable steps in conversation and practice. That can mean using mindfulness exercises, exploring values with ACT, or discussing attachment patterns that influence communication. She often helps people develop new ways to respond when they feel triggered rather than react automatically.

To start, readers are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is about clarifying personal values and taking small committed actions towards them. In an online setting this often looks like brief exercises, values worksheets and planning steps to try between sessions to reduce reactivity and anger.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns influence current emotional responses. Online conversations can map those patterns and practise new ways of communicating when frustration or resentment comes up.

Mindfulness Therapy involves short practices to notice thoughts and bodily signals without getting swept away by them. These practices can be guided during a session and then repeated at home to help interrupt automatic angry reactions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which methods to use. That collaborative selection helps shape session pace, types of exercises and practical homework.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or enabling sessions in different time zones. Many people find remote sessions help maintain consistency while working on anger, stress and relationship patterns.
