About Olivia

Olivia Kellett is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years of experience. She works with relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, and low self-esteem. Olivia also focuses on issues like abandonment, attachment problems, codependency, guilt and shame, and isolation.

She keeps sessions straightforward and conversational. Olivia believes people already have strengths to draw on and uses that as a starting point. She mixes moments of lightness with clear talk about what needs to change. Changing behaviour and feeling different is hard work, and she stays practical about the steps involved.

Her approach draws on attachment-based work to look at how early bonds shape current relationships. She uses client-centred principles to listen closely and follow what matters most to the person in front of her. Cognitive behavioural ideas and emotionally-focused methods are used to help identify unhelpful patterns and respond differently in close relationships.

Olivia also brings mindfulness practices into sessions to help manage intense emotions and build grounding skills. She has worked with people affected by trauma, abuse and sexual concerns, and treats those topics as matters to address with care and clear methods. Sessions are conversation-led, with tasks or reflections to try between meetings when useful.

She offers sessions in English, Russian and Ukrainian, and works with people in the UK as well as international clients. Before booking, check the current session options so you know how meetings will be arranged.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current bonds and emotional responses; online sessions use conversation to identify patterns and try new ways of relating. Client-centred counselling focuses on listening and following the client's priorities, so online meetings centre on what matters most to the person and move at their pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. That means adapting techniques over time and checking how exercises or reflections feel between sessions.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how meetings will be arranged. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone choose audio-only work if a lower bandwidth or not being on camera helps them engage. Registered or accredited professionals will discuss the practical arrangements and help match a format to the client's day-to-day life.
