About Elisabeta
Elisabeta Oltean is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She brings six years of experience helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain or life transitions. She speaks English and Romanian and works with people across countries by online means.
Elisabeta offers a warm, conversational style. She listens for the stories people tell about themselves and looks for patterns that keep them stuck. Sessions are straightforward and focused on practical steps people can try between meetings to feel steadier and more in charge.
Background and approach
Her practice draws on Narrative therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, alongside client-centred and mindfulness approaches. This mix is used to help clients reframe painful experiences, build clearer values, and practise small actions that match those values. Elisabeta also addresses issues such as addiction, intimacy concerns, parenting stress and work-related strain.
She holds BACP credentials, which indicate professional registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Elisabeta has worked with people facing trauma and family-of-origin difficulties, and she supports those coping with bereavement, anger, body image and self-esteem problems. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their day.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Elisabeta directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How Narrative and ACT translate to online therapy
Elisabeta uses Narrative therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves. This approach looks at how problems become part of a person's story and seeks small shifts in that story so daily life feels different. It can be useful for relationship difficulties, family-of-origin issues and feelings of emptiness.She also works with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small, value-based actions. ACT helps with anxiety, low mood and coping with change by combining mindfulness with practical steps you can practise between sessions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Elisabeta will talk with each person about their goals, experiences and preferences, then adapt techniques from Narrative, ACT and client-centred work. Together they decide what feels most helpful and adjust as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Text-based chat and messaging suit people who prefer writing between sessions or need flexible scheduling. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep continuity across countries for international clients.
