About Olivia
Counsellor and member of BACP, Olivia Knight has three years of professional experience supporting people in the United Kingdom with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. She also has experience working with neurodivergence, domestic violence and gender dysphoria. Olivia works with individuals who want practical conversation and clear steps to manage what they are facing.
Olivia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and focuses on what is useful for each person. Sessions typically involve listening, reflecting, and trying out different ways of coping between meetings. She treats people as the experts of their own lives and helps them notice their strengths and choices.
She aims to make early sessions straightforward. The first meetings are used to identify the main concerns and agree practical goals. From there she and the client decide which approaches to use and how often to meet.
Olivia has experience with issues arising from trauma and abuse, and with relationship difficulties that affect daily life. She also supports people managing changes such as career moves, relocation, or shifts in identity.
Sessions are described plainly and without jargon. People who choose to work with Olivia can expect a direct style that focuses on managing symptoms, building self-esteem, and improving everyday coping. She accepts international clients and runs sessions in English.
Evidence-based approaches used in online counselling
Olivia works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and symptom management. One approach she uses involves structured talking and problem-solving to reduce stress and anxiety, helping people notice patterns and try small changes that fit everyday life. Another approach emphasises processing and coping strategies for trauma and abuse, offering ways to manage distressing memories and triggers in step-by-step sessions.Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Olivia will discuss what feels most relevant and useful, and will adjust methods as goals and needs become clearer. Clients take part in deciding what to try and how to measure progress.
If you are considering online counselling, check the session formats before booking to confirm current options. Online work can make sessions easier to fit into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also let people meet with a counsellor who understands their concerns even when they are in a different location.
