About Olivia
Olivia Stewart is a BACP counsellor with three years of counselling experience and a decade working in helping roles. She works with people for both shorter and longer periods, listening without judgement and focusing on what matters to each person. Olivia aims to make the first sessions feel straightforward and manageable for someone who might be anxious about starting therapy.
Her style is relational and collaborative. She pays attention to the dynamics that shape everyday choices and relationships.
Background and approach
Olivia often discusses life patterns and how early experiences can lead to repeated ways of thinking and feeling. Olivia uses a mix of approaches depending on what a person needs. She draws on client-centred work to follow the client's lead and build trust.
She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviours. People come to her for a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, addictions, trauma and issues related to intimacy and self-esteem. She also supports those facing life changes, career decisions, caregiving strain, chronic illness, and challenges connected to LGBT identity.
In sessions Olivia aims to help people recognise strengths they already have. She offers practical steps alongside reflective conversation. The aim is to help someone feel steadier, more able to make choices, and clearer about next steps.

How Olivia’s approaches translate to online counselling
Olivia uses client-centred techniques that focus on the person’s own priorities and on building a trusting relationship. This approach involves listening closely, reflecting what a person says, and following their lead to work at a comfortable pace. It suits people who want to feel heard and understood before trying changes.She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. CBT offers clear steps and practical exercises to try between sessions, which can help with anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and stress-related issues.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Olivia will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest ways of working that fit those needs. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online or in-person options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life by reducing travel and allowing meetings during a lunch break or between commitments. They can also let people keep a regular rhythm of appointments and use homework or written exercises between sessions.
