About Olivia
Counsellor and member of the BACP with five years' experience, Olivia Kellett helps people facing relationship problems, family difficulties, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues and low self esteem. She speaks English, Russian and Ukrainian and works from the United Kingdom. Olivia describes herself as straightforward in session and sometimes adds a little levity to ease difficult conversations.
She uses a mix of approaches drawn from attachment-based work, client-centred practice and cognitive behavioural methods. Sessions focus on what is happening now between people, how past attachments shape current reactions, and practical steps to change patterns that cause pain. Olivia aims to help people identify strengths they can use when situations feel overwhelming.
In the room she listens for patterns of interaction and thought that keep problems going. She uses emotionally focused ideas when relationships are the main concern and mindfully-paced exercises when anxiety or trauma symptoms are present. Work can include short, practical tasks to try between sessions and gentle checking of how new ways of relating feel.
Olivia has experience with abandonment, attachment issues, blended family challenges, codependency, commitment and control problems, infidelity and separation. She also offers support for immigration stress, guilt and shame, feelings of emptiness and isolation, and coping after natural or human-made disasters.
Her practice is presented in plain language and aims to be direct. If someone prefers to discuss logistics first, she asks them to use the booking route so they can complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange an initial session.
How her approaches work for online counselling
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current ways of relating. It helps when people struggle with trust, fear of abandonment or repeated patterns in partnerships.Client-centred practice means the counsellor listens openly and reflects what is said. This approach helps people feel understood and supports them to find their own solutions to problems.
Cognitive behavioural techniques focus on the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. They are useful for addressing unhelpful thinking, lowering anxiety and trying small changes that lead to different outcomes.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Olivia will discuss which methods may fit best with someone’s goals and preferences, and they will decide together how to combine techniques during sessions.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the profile does not list them. Many people find online sessions useful for fitting counselling into a busy week, keeping appointments that would otherwise be hard to attend, and using shorter check-ins when needed. Some formats make it easier to have conversations without being on camera, while others work better for longer therapy focused on relationships. Registered or accredited professionals can explain the practical options when arranging the first meeting.
