About Katya
Katya Olateju draws on 16 years of experience and a person-focused approach to help people find calmer, clearer ways forward. She is registered NCPS which appears on her professional profile. Katya works in English and French and supports international clients as needed.
She aims for straightforward, respectful conversations. Sessions focus on practical steps and on understanding what matters most to the client. Katya adapts discussions and plans to each person's circumstances rather than using the same formula for everyone.
Background and approach
Common themes she addresses include stress and anxiety, low self-esteem, career concerns, parenting and the challenges that come with life changes. She also helps people who are coping with trauma, relationship and intimacy issues, eating or sleeping problems, anger, depression and ADHD-related difficulties. Her ways of working draw on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-informed ideas, client-centred listening, emotionally-focused methods and mindfulness practices.
These approaches are used to help people notice patterns, practise new responses and build everyday coping skills. Katya describes therapy as a collaborative effort. She offers coaching-style support when helpful and aims to empower people to make changes that fit their life.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and sessions are scheduled according to the therapist's availability.

How Katya works online
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person's needs and goals, and may combine ideas from several approaches as the work progresses. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions stay relevant and practical.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life and reduce travel time. They also allow shorter check-ins when needed, and may make it simpler to attend when juggling work or caregiving responsibilities.
