About me
If you are looking for 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. 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. Each person that enters my counselling room is unique; everybody experiences life differently. 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, goals you would like to aim to achieve, and how we navigate through topics you’d like to discuss together.
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 sessions from the comfort of your own home, and I offer face-to-face sessions in Lincoln city centre. 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.
With a background working in a hospice setting, I have worked extensively with the impacts of terminal illness and the grieving process. In addition to often working with issues relating to romantic, familial and friendship relationships, navigating life transitions, gender and sexual identities, anxiety, depression, stress, burnout and self-esteem in my private practice.
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 practice 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 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
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
