About Elly
Elly Oka is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety and depression. She also supports those coping with trauma and abuse, self-esteem problems, relationship strain and career difficulties. Her approach is practical and straightforward, aimed at helping people take small steps towards a more manageable life.
Elly works in a way that puts the client’s experience first. She treats the person, not just the problem, and encourages people to use their own strengths. Sessions focus on clear goals and useful skills, with room to talk through feelings and past experiences.
Her background includes five years of professional practice and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That experience informs how she balances talking, listening and practical exercises in sessions.
Elly draws on a mix of approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy. She adapts techniques to the needs of each person rather than following a single method.
People approaching adoption or foster care matters may find her understanding of abandonment, attachment and family-related concerns helpful. She also helps with grief, parenting strain, chronic illness, compassion fatigue and life transitions.
Sessions are conducted in English and international clients may be accepted. Prospective clients are invited to use the site’s Start Therapy process to match and schedule a meeting with Elly.
