About Olivia
Olivia Stewart is a BACP counsellor with three years of front-line counselling experience. She draws on a decade of previous work in helping roles to support people facing emotional strain. Olivia offers both short-term and longer-term work depending on what each person needs.
Her approach is relational and collaborative. She sees the person first and uses conversation to uncover patterns that matter in daily life. Olivia often helps people make sense of recurring reactions and choices that cause stress or friction.
How Olivia works
In sessions she uses practical techniques alongside deeper reflection. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centred work and psychodynamic ideas are part of her toolkit. This mix helps people tackle anxiety, low mood, relationship struggles and coping with life changes.
Olivia also supports people with trauma, addictions, intimacy concerns and issues around self-esteem and body image. She addresses specific topics such as sleep problems, anger, ADHD-related challenges and caregiver strain. Her additional focus includes abandonment, attachment, communication problems and infidelity among other relationship-related themes.
People can expect a calm, straightforward style. Olivia encourages clients to notice their strengths and to try small changes in daily life. She aims to help people move toward clearer choices and a greater sense of agency.
Sessions are offered in English and she works with both short focused plans and longer reparative work depending on individual goals.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Olivia uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy as core parts of her work. CBT offers practical steps to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep issues. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person feels understood and can discover their own solutions for relationship or self-esteem concerns.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Olivia will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those aims. She adjusts plans over time and checks in to see what is helpful so the work stays relevant and grounded in real life.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that matters. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, pacing work over days, or people who prefer writing. These flexible options help fit therapy around work, family and everyday life.
