Olivia Kellett, BACP

Olivia Kellett is a UK-based therapist with five years of professional experience who works with people facing relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, and self-esteem challenges. She holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which identifies her as a member of a recognised professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. Olivia combines focused clinical training with a strengths-based outlook, believing that people already possess resources that can help them move through difficult changes and heal.

Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns, including abandonment and attachment issues, blended family challenges, codependency, commitment and control difficulties, divorce and separation, infidelity, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. She also has training in trauma, post-traumatic stress disorder, and sex-related issues, which informs her approach when supporting clients with complex histories.

Olivia balances a serious commitment to therapeutic work with a touch of levity in sessions, aiming to make the process of change more manageable. She uses a mix of clinical approaches tailored to each person - drawing on attachment-based, client-centered, cognitive behavioral, emotionally-focused, and mindfulness-oriented methods - and offers supportive guidance throughout the journey of change.

Approaches for online relationship and trauma work

Olivia draws on several established approaches to tailor online therapy to each person's needs. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationship patterns shape emotional responses and closeness, helping people address abandonment, attachment difficulties, and relational pain. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship and supports people in exploring their own goals and strengths, which can be especially helpful for self-esteem and family concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and develop practical strategies to reduce distress and improve coping, often used for trauma-related symptoms, anxiety, and mood concerns.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. She works collaboratively with clients and with other licensed professionals as needed to determine which methods best match a person's goals, preferences, and life circumstances. This collaborative stance helps shape a flexible, individualized plan.

Online therapy offers practical benefits such as greater flexibility and easier access to care. With options for video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, clients can choose the format that fits their schedule and comfort level while working with a therapist who can provide consistent support across distances.
