About Rosalind
Rosalind Oliver is a counsellor who works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship and intimacy difficulties. She supports people from the LGBT community and those struggling with self-esteem, compassion fatigue or complex life transitions. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth, aiming to make therapy feel practical and understandable.
She builds sessions on a person-centred foundation that listens to each person’s values and goals. From there she blends approaches to suit the issue at hand, using skills to manage emotions alongside deeper work about life patterns and early experiences.
How Rosalind works
Sessions focus on clear steps people can try between meetings as well as exploring how past events continue to shape current feelings. Rosalind uses tools from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help reframe thoughts and develop coping behaviours. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and encourage flexible responses to difficult feelings.
Attachment-based ideas help uncover relational patterns that affect intimacy and trust. Her background includes legal work, many years in the music and arts sector in Germany, and experience managing practice operations in psychiatric settings. That mix gives a practical perspective on workplace pressure, creative careers and professional stress.
She aims to combine warmth and realism so people feel heard and can take workable steps forward. Rosalind holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She offers sessions in English and German and works online using a range of session formats.

Online support options
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and reconnect with what matters to them. It uses simple exercises to build willingness to feel difficult emotions while taking steps towards meaningful goals. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns in close relationships and helps people try different ways of relating to others. Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of sessions, offering empathic listening to help people find their own solutions.Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will check hopes, needs and preferences and suggest a mix of methods that fit the issue. This is a collaborative process and adjustments can be made as the work evolves.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which allow flexible scheduling around work or other commitments. Video is useful for a fuller conversation and non-verbal cues, phone calls can be easier if bandwidth is limited, and messaging suits shorter check-ins or when written reflection helps. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care while fitting therapy into a busy life.
