Olivia Richard

Hello! My name is Liv, I am a warm, friendly, and compassionate person-centred counsellor. Life can be full of ups and downs; if you are feeling low, or wanting to work through current or past difficulties, then reaching out for support can feel daunting. However, it can also be crucial to maintaining your wellbeing. I believe that a strong, trusting relationship with an empathic, non-judgemental counsellor can be the building blocks for a happier and more fulfilled life, and I would like to provide that relationship for you.

Alongside counselling, I manage a women’s mental health service so specialise in women’s issues, and have experience working with depression, stress, anxiety, PTSD, psychosis, domestic abuse and personality disorder. My aim is to promote resilience and harness your ability to cope with and recover from adverse experiences- to face life’s challenges confidently. I am passionate about celebrating diversity and promoting equality so I warmly welcome people from all backgrounds, cultures, faiths and LGBTQIA+ communities.

Please reach out to me for a complimentary 10-minute call to see if I can provide that relationship for you, and how we can work together to improve your quality of life. Sessions can be open-ended and we will have regular check-ins to see how the sessions are working for you. Although trained in Person-Centred Theory, I work in an integrative way. I am also particularly interested in Transactional Analysis and Psychodynamic Therapy and I am a member of the BACP.
