About Olenka
She provides a space where clients can feel heard and speak openly, with a focus on increasing self-awareness, gaining insight, and challenging self-limiting beliefs. Believing that therapy should be personal and tailored, Olenka places importance on finding the right fit so clients feel comfortable while exploring emotions, thoughts, and life experiences.
Olenka specialises in helping people with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, low self esteem, bereavement, trauma, and transitions such as becoming a parent, moving home, career changes, children growing up, perimenopause and menopause, and adjusting to an ADHD diagnosis. Her integrative style draws on evidence-based techniques such as CBT and is adapted to meet the unique needs of each person she works with.
Her goal is to empower clients to identify and express feelings, build resilience, and move beyond patterns that hold them back. Taking the first step can feel challenging, and Olenka offers steady support through that process. Her private practice can be found at www.therapywitholenka.co.uk.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support
Olenka uses client-centered therapy to place the person at the heart of the process, offering nonjudgmental support and working at the client’s pace to explore feelings, values, and relationships. This approach is helpful for those seeking greater self-understanding and stronger connection to their own choices.
She also incorporates mindfulness therapy, teaching simple awareness and grounding practices that can reduce rumination and help manage stress and anxiety in day-to-day life. Mindfulness techniques can support emotional regulation and improve focus during times of change.
Motivational interviewing is another tool Olenka draws on to help people find and strengthen their own motivation for change, particularly when tackling habits, commitment issues, or stages of transition. It focuses on clarifying personal goals and building confidence to take practical steps forward.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Olenka works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the work as progress unfolds.
Online therapy with Olenka is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit therapy around daily life. These options make it easier to access support from different locations and at times that suit the client, while allowing registered professionals to tailor sessions to each person’s circumstances.
