About Olivia

Olivia Kellett is a BACP registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years of experience. She supports people dealing with relationship strain, family problems, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related difficulties and low self-esteem. Olivia works with common issues such as attachment struggles, abandonment, codependency, infidelity and the weight of divorce or separation.

Her sessions take a straightforward, person-focused approach. She listens and helps people notice patterns in relationships. Conversations often look at how past hurts shape present choices. Olivia keeps language simple and practical so parents and adults can use what they learn straight away.

Olivia draws on attachment-based and client-centred ways of working to make sense of relationship dynamics. She also uses cognitive behavioural tools to help change unhelpful thinking and emotionally-focused methods to address intimacy and connection. Mindfulness techniques are offered when helpful for managing strong feelings.

She is familiar with issues that affect blended families, immigration-related strain, guilt and shame, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. Olivia also brings experience addressing control and commitment concerns, and practical coping after natural or human-caused disasters.

Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented when needed. Olivia encourages small, realistic steps between meetings. She combines practical exercises with time for reflection so people can try out changes in their everyday home life.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships. It helps people see how early bonds affect trust and closeness now, and it can be useful for tackling issues like abandonment and attachment worries.

Client-centred therapy places the person's experience at the centre. Sessions tend to be conversational, with the counsellor reflecting what is said so clients can find their own solutions and build confidence.

CBT offers straightforward tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It is often used for managing shame, guilt, anxiety and low self-esteem by practising different ways of thinking and acting between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Olivia will discuss goals, preferences and what feels useful, and decide together which methods to try. That collaborative step helps shape clear, realistic aims for sessions.

Confirm the current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy home life, for example by avoiding travel, allowing shorter check-ins or letting someone join from a quieter environment. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and mindfulness practices to suit the online setting and daily routines.
