Olivia Kellett, BACP

Olivia Kellett is a counsellor who helps people deal with relationship strain, family problems, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related worries and low self esteem. She draws on five years of clinical experience and works in English, Russian and Ukrainian. Olivia aims to make sessions straightforward and approachable for people who are worried or uncertain about therapy.

Her style is warm and practical. She encourages clients to notice their existing strengths and use them to make steady changes. She keeps the mood hopeful and sometimes lightens tense moments with gentle humour. Sessions focus on clear goals and small, manageable steps toward those goals.

Olivia uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She also uses client-centred methods that prioritise the person’s perspective and pace. Cognitive behavioural techniques are applied where thoughts and behaviours are getting in the way of daily life.

Over several years she has worked with people coping with abandonment, codependency, commitment and control issues, infidelity, divorce and blended family challenges. She also supports those dealing with guilt, shame, isolation and problems linked to immigration or disaster-related stress.

Olivia holds BACP registration, which is shown as BACP. She practises in the United Kingdom and accepts international enquiries. If someone would like to start, they are invited to use the site process to match and schedule sessions.

How Olivia’s approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds affect current relationships and patterns. Online sessions can focus on recognising those patterns and trying new ways of relating in day-to-day life. Client-centred therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the session and lets the client set the pace and topics that matter most. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and then practises small changes between sessions to ease daily struggles.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Olivia will collaborate with each person to decide what fits best for their needs and goals. That may mean trying a couple of methods and adjusting as things change, with the client’s preferences guiding the plan.

Confirm the available session options before booking as the biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a work break. It can also make it simpler to keep appointments when someone is living abroad, while scheduling around time zones and practical constraints.
