Katya Olateju, NCPS

Katya commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It is useful for anxiety, depression and major life transitions. She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how past relationship patterns shape current feelings and behaviour, which can help with intimacy issues and communication problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client decide collaboratively which methods to try, and they adjust plans based on what feels most helpful. This means sessions may focus on learning mindfulness skills one week and then practising new ways of relating the next.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people talk face to face when more connection is helpful. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or take less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family and travel.
