About me
Hello! I'm Olivia, an Integrative Counsellor currently working online only. Recognising the need for accessible counselling, I offer a safe, compassionate and confidential space where you are welcome to bring your whole self and explore what’s brought you to seek counselling at this moment in your life within a warm, empathic and non-judgemental therapeutic relationship. Reaching out to a counsellor can feel daunting, and I understand how helpful it can be to know a little more about my approach before taking that first step.
Perhaps you’ve experienced a traumatic event, a loss or just feel lost - perhaps you’ve noticed yourself in negative patterns of behaviour in which you feel stuck and would like the help of a professional to help you navigate a way out. I offer a safe and non-judgmental space in which to explore both your current issues and also your past history. Our early experiences and relationships can impact the way we view the world and our current relationships with others. Sometimes, it can be helpful to look deeper beneath our surface issues and explore potential patterns of relating and repetitive cycles of behaviour that are having a negative impact on our sense of self.
I trained at the Bath Centre for Psychotherapy and Counselling and hold an Advanced Diploma in Humanistic and Integrative Counselling, I'm also a registered member of the BACP. I have worked in placement and private practice and have extensive experience working with clients with a broad range of therapeutic needs.
I specialise in (but not limited to)
- Attachment trauma
- Anger Management
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Burnout
- Stress
- Self Esteem
- Shame
- Trauma
- Relationship issues
- Childhood trauma
- Humanistic Therapy
- Psychodynamic Therapy
My fee is £40/hr for online sessions.
As a starting point, I offer an initial full session so that we can meet and begin to explore what has brought you to therapy. This also provides an opportunity for you to get a sense of whether I feel like the right therapist for you. If you decide that the relationship does not feel like the right fit, there is no obligation to continue or to pay for the session. If you choose to continue working together, the session will then be charged at the agreed rate.
Feel free to send me an email for more information or to arrange an initial session.
Training, qualifications & experience
I trained at the Bath Centre for Psychotherapy and Counselling and gained an Advanced Diploma in Humanistic and Integrative Counselling.
I have extensive experience working with adults with broad-ranging needs in both charitable organisations and private practice.
I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP) and work within their code of ethics, working closely with a professional supervisor to ensure I’m working to your best interests and continue to work effectively.
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.
