About Elly

Elly Oka supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain and issues with self-esteem. She also helps with addiction, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, sleep and eating difficulties, and career-related distress. Elly works with people coping with life changes, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and compassion fatigue.

She uses practical, person-focused sessions to help people take manageable steps forward. Elly brings five years of professional experience and holds BACP registration.

Background and approach

She approaches sessions with respect for each person’s story and strengths. Conversations are aimed at making sense of problems and finding workable strategies for day-to-day life. Her style is collaborative and down to earth.

Sessions tend to focus on what someone wants to change and on small experiments that test new ways of coping. Elly draws on different psychological methods to match what a person needs in the moment. Techniques come from approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy.

She also uses elements of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and client-centred work when helpful. The emphasis is on practical tools, values-based choices and improving relationships with self and others. Elly offers online options to make therapy easier to fit into busy lives.

People can expect a calm, non-judgemental space to talk things through and to try out realistic steps toward their goals.

Online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical exercises to reduce unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, mood and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of relating and can help with intimacy issues, communication problems and attachment concerns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the person to identify goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. Sessions may mix techniques so progress can be flexible and tailored rather than fixed to one model.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation without travel, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and live chat or text-based messaging is good for ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to match the format to daily life, work schedules or changing energy levels while keeping therapy focused on clear, achievable goals.
