About Olivia

Olivia Kellett is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who works with people facing relationship strain, family problems, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related difficulties, and low self-esteem. She speaks English, Russian and Ukrainian and brings five years of professional experience to her work. Olivia aims to help clients draw on their own strengths when dealing with hard changes in life.

Her approach is warm and down-to-earth. Sessions are straightforward and focused on what the client wants to change. She mixes listening with practical steps so people leave with things they can try between meetings. Olivia also uses mindfulness practices to help manage overwhelming feelings.

Olivia uses Client-Centred Therapy to prioritise each person’s perspective and emotional pacing. She also draws on Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits. Emotionally-Focused Therapy informs work on closeness and communication in relationships.

She works with a range of relationship and family issues, including abandonment, attachment difficulties, blended family concerns, codependency, infidelity, divorce and separation. Other areas she supports include guilt and shame, isolation and coping after disasters, and immigration-related stress.

Olivia describes therapy as a gradual process and aims to balance seriousness with a lighter touch when appropriate. She encourages clients to try small changes and notices progress along the way.

How Olivia's approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the centre of sessions, so the counsellor follows each client's pace and priorities while offering steady, empathic listening. This approach helps when someone needs to be heard and to make sense of their feelings before trying new steps.

Attachment-Based work looks at patterns that begin in early relationships and shows how those patterns affect current connections and intimacy. It can be useful for people struggling with trust, closeness or repeated relationship hurt. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural changes to shift mood and reactions over time.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will check in about what feels most useful, try different ways of working, and adjust based on the client's goals and preferences. Decisions about methods are made together rather than imposed.

Confirm which online session formats are offered before booking, as the biography does not specify formats here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when time is limited. It also lets people use mindfulness exercises and thought-tracking tasks between meetings so progress continues outside sessions.
