Katya Olateju works mainly through client-centred, attachment and acceptance-based approaches. She focuses on stress, anxiety, self-esteem and coping with life changes. Katya brings 16 years of experience and speaks English and French.

She aims to create a calm space where people can talk things through at their own pace. Conversations are shaped around each person’s situation, goals and values. Sessions often focus on practical steps people can try between meetings, and on noticing patterns that make day-to-day life harder.

Background and approach

Katya has helped people facing parenting challenges, career setbacks and relationship strains. She also supports those dealing with trauma, eating or sleeping difficulties, anger and low mood. Additional areas of focus include adoption and foster care, blended family issues and caregiver stress.

Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which looks at values and action, and Attachment-Based work that explores how early bonds affect close relationships. Mindfulness and emotionally-focused techniques are used to help people stay present and deepen emotional awareness. Katya describes her style as respectful and compassionate.

She tailors conversations and plans to each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. If someone wants to work in either English or French, she can hold sessions in either language.

Therapeutic approaches for online sessions

Katya frequently uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify what matters to them and take actions that match those values even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. This approach is useful for anxiety, low mood and life transitions.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns influence current connections and emotional responses. That can help people improve communication, understand closeness and shift repeated interaction cycles.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try together. Decisions about focus and pace are taken collaboratively and adjusted as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy fit day-to-day life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers short check-ins and text messaging works well for ongoing reflections between meetings. These options give flexibility for different schedules, quieter surroundings and practical needs while maintaining consistent therapeutic support.
