About me
Blossom Tree Therapy – With Olivia
Therapy begins with you.
I’m Olivia, a BACP-accredited person-centred counsellor, advanced clinical supervisor and practicing EMDR Therapist.
Having worked within trauma-informed practice and alongside blue light services, I am committed to creating a therapeutic space that feels safe, supportive and responsive to your individual needs.
Together, we can explore what matters most to you- your experiences, values, beliefs and the challenges you may be facing. Therapy provides a safe space to develop greater self-awareness, build resilience and gain the insight and tools needed to create meaningful, lasting change.
I deeply value the trust my clients place in me when sharing their vulnerabilities. It is a privilege to walk alongside them on their journey, supporting them as they work towards a more fulfilling and authentic life. I believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to live in a way that feels true to themselves.
I offer counselling from a comfortable and welcoming private therapy room for those who prefer face-to-face sessions. I also provide online and telephone counselling, enabling me to work with clients throughout the UK.
Counselling is a space where you can be yourself without fear of judgement. You don’t need to have all the answers or know exactly where to begin. Simply showing up is enough- and often the bravest first step.
EMDR Therapy
I am currently welcoming new EMDR clients. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) is a therapeutic approach designed to help people process difficult experiences that may still be affecting them today. Sometimes distressing events can become “stuck” in the brain, leading to ongoing symptoms such as anxiety, low mood, emotional overwhelm, negative beliefs about ourselves, or difficulties in relationships.
Through a structured and supportive process, EMDR helps the brain reprocess these experiences so they no longer carry the same emotional charge. EMDR can be beneficial for people experiencing the effects of trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, low mood and other challenging life experiences. Many people find that it helps them feel more grounded, confident, and able to engage more fully with life.
Clinical Supervision
As an Advanced Clinical Supervisor, I offer a supportive space where you can reflect on your practice, explore challenges, gain insight and feel both encouraged and appropriately challenged in your professional development.
I take a collaborative and holistic approach, recognising that who you are as a person influences who you are as a practitioner. I welcome conversations about how you would like to be supervised and tailor sessions to support your growth, confidence and wellbeing.
Supervision sessions are available face-to-face, by telephone or online, with 1-hour and 1.5-hour appointments available. Reduced fees are available for students.

Training, qualifications & experience
Experience
I am an accredited Counsellor with the BACP and an Advanced Clinical Supervisor, offering a compassionate, client-centred approach grounded in empathy, authenticity, and respect for each individual’s unique experience. My work is trauma-informed, reflecting both my academic foundation and extensive experience supporting clients affected by a wide range of traumatic experiences. My training in advanced clinical supervision further strengthens my practice, supporting reflective, ethical, and effective therapeutic work.
Over the years, I have built a diverse professional background across private organisations, local services, and charitable settings, supporting individuals from varied walks of life. I am an affiliate for a number of private organisations, including Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) providers, where I support individuals experiencing work-related stress, burnout, and other workplace challenges. I have also contributed to one of the largest mental health services, working with high-risk presentations and complex needs, alongside counselling within a leading occupational health and wellbeing company.
A significant part of my work has involved supporting those within the blue light services, including police and ambulance personnel, as well as individuals from military backgrounds. This has given me valuable insight into the unique pressures, responsibilities, and impact of trauma associated with these roles. Alongside this, I have established my own private practice, where I continue to provide a safe, supportive, and collaborative space for clients to explore their experiences and work towards meaningful change.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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.
