About Elly
Elly Oka is a BACP counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety and depression. She also supports those dealing with trauma, bereavement and self‑esteem difficulties. She speaks English and offers sessions for people both in the United Kingdom and internationally.
Elly keeps sessions simple and direct. She believes people know their own story and brings a calm, respectful presence to help them make sense of what feels hard. Conversations focus on practical steps, coping skills and the everyday changes that make life easier.
Background and approach
Elly uses a mix of widely used approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and client‑centred work. She draws these together to suit each person’s needs rather than following a single formula. Sessions often include setting small goals and practising new ways of thinking and acting between meetings.
In five years of practice she has supported people with relationship worries, career stress, addictions and parenting strain. She also works with people managing chronic health issues, grief after loss, and challenges linked to attachment or adoption and fostering backgrounds. Elly offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text‑based messaging.
Pricing varies with location and sessions run through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Elly will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what feels workable. Together they decide which methods to try and review progress, changing direction if something does not feel helpful.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or mobility limits. Video calls allow face‑to‑face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat suits quick check‑ins and text‑based messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving or medical routines while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
