About Olivia
Olivia Kellett helps people facing relationship problems, family strain, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues and low self-esteem. She supports people working through abandonment, attachment concerns, infidelity, blended family tensions and the aftermath of separation. Olivia speaks English, Russian and Ukrainian and practises from the United Kingdom.
Olivia uses a warm, straightforward style in sessions. She believes people already have strengths they can build on. The work is practical and conversational rather than full of jargon.
How Olivia works
She aims to make change feel manageable while keeping a sense of lightness when appropriate. Her approach blends attachment-based ideas with client-centred listening and tools from cognitive behavioural therapy. That mix is used to spot unhelpful patterns, name painful feelings and try out different ways of relating.
Mindfulness techniques are offered to help with intense emotions and grounding during difficult moments. Olivia has five years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has worked with people affected by trauma, as well as those dealing with family disruption and intimacy worries.
Her background includes focused work on abandonment, codependency and shame. Sessions aim to be collaborative, with goals set together. Olivia will help you identify small steps you can try between meetings.
Practical coping strategies, clearer communication skills and noticing emotional patterns are common outcomes of the work she offers.

How Olivia’s approaches work online
Olivia combines attachment-based ideas with client-centred listening and cognitive behavioural techniques. Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people notice how early bonds affect current trust and closeness. This is useful for intimacy issues, fear of abandonment and repeated conflict. Client-centred work focuses on listening and reflecting so the person feels understood and can find their own solutions. Cognitive behavioural methods help identify unhelpful thoughts and test out new behaviours to reduce distress and improve communication.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Olivia will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit the person’s needs, goals and preferences. Sessions begin with shared goals and can be adjusted as progress is made or priorities change.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people read facial cues and practice communication in real time. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a camera feels too much. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, written reflection or days when typing is easier than talking. These formats make it possible to fit therapy into busy schedules and different time zones while working with registered or accredited professionals.
