About me

If you’re tired of carrying things alone and need someone to listen and support you, I’m here. My name is Olivia, and I am a qualified Level 7 counsellor.

As your counsellor, I aim to create a kind, calm, and caring space, staying open-minded and attentive to the unique challenges and pressures you may be facing. It can be reassuring to know there is someone you can turn to when life feels overwhelming. I offer a safe, confidential space where you can explore your feelings openly and feel truly heard and accepted as you are.

How I Can Help You 

My clients are always placed at the centre of the counselling process. I believe that if you are paying for a service, you should be in control of what you would like to focus our sessions on, what goals you would like to aim to achieve, and how we navigate through topics you’d like to discuss together. Each person that enters my counselling room is unique, everybody experiences life differently, however it is most important to remind you that you do not have to experience it alone! That is what I am here for. 

Flexible Session Options - Online & Face-to-Face

I am pleased to be able to offer all clients a free initial 15-minute introduction call. This gives you chance to see whether we are the right fit - choosing the correct counsellor for your needs is so important! I offer online counselling so you can attend counselling from the comfort of your own home, and I offer face-to-face counselling sessions in Lincoln. Giving you the choice of what works best for you further places you at the centre of the counselling process and ensures we work in a way that will meet your mental wellbeing needs the best. 

My Therapeutic Experience 

I have supported clients through a wide range of challenges affecting their mental health and emotional well-being. This includes helping people navigate anticipatory grief, terminal and chronic illness, and bereavement. I have worked with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideation, as well as those facing difficulties in romantic, familial, and friendship relationships, including separation and divorce. I also support individuals dealing with body image and self-esteem issues, abuse (sexual, physical, and emotional) and associated trauma, alcohol dependency, work-related stress, and the emotional aftermath of affairs and betrayals.

In addition, I work with people exploring or coming to terms with their sexual orientation and gender identity, as well as those managing anger, attachment-related difficulties, and the complexities of neurodivergence. 

These experiences have deepened my capacity to empathise and respond sensitively to your individual needs. While my foundation lies in the person-centred approach—which remains central to how I work—I practise integratively. This allows me to draw from a range of therapeutic models to tailor our work in a way that feels most supportive and right for you.

Starting Your Therapeutic Journey

Reaching out for support can feel daunting. You should feel very proud of yourself for taking this step. Please feel free to email me, I am more than happy to help with getting your counselling journey started.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.

Accredited register membership
