How Elisabeta works

Sessions aim to make uncomfortable feelings easier to understand and respond to, not just react to. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients notice thoughts without getting stuck in them and on Mindfulness therapy to build calm, moment-to-moment awareness. Her counselling style is warm and collaborative.

Motivational Interviewing is used when people want help with change and need support to find personal reasons to move forward. Existential ideas are brought in to help clients consider meaning, values and life direction when facing bigger questions. Elisabeta has six years of professional experience and is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

She combines those years of practice with practical tools and conversational techniques that are easy to use between sessions. People can expect sessions by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. The first steps are straightforward: complete a short questionnaire, then schedule a session that fits the person’s timetable.

Elisabeta focuses on creating realistic steps people can try between meetings to notice real change.

Online support options

How Elisabeta’s approaches work online

Elisabeta offers Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions. ACT focuses on identifying personal values and taking small steps towards a life that matters to the person.

She also uses Client-Centred Therapy, a straightforward approach that prioritises the person’s experience and pace. This style is useful when someone needs a non-judgemental space to talk and to feel heard. Mindfulness Therapy appears in sessions as simple attention exercises and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve sleep and concentration.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Elisabeta will listen to what matters most, try a few techniques, and adapt the plan based on what helps. She works collaboratively to set goals and to find practical steps that fit each person’s life and preferences.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to give flexible options. Video lets visual cues guide the conversation, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins and text messaging suits ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats aim to make counselling easier to fit around work, travel or family commitments and to keep continuity between meetings.
