Hi, I’m Oliver and I’m a counsellor and psychotherapist working both face-to-face and online.
I have a kind and calming presence. I will listen to you without judgement and be there alongside you while you move through the issues you are currently contending with.
People are often surprised how much things can change just from sharing them with another. Through our conversations, you will gain more self-understanding and self-acceptance and come to navigate your world with more ease and more joy.
My initial training was in integrative counselling and psychotherapy so I can draw on a number of different ways of working – according to what best fits your needs.
I might integrate somatic (body-focussed) approaches into our sessions for example – as research shows that focussing on the body can help with nervous system regulation and emotional balance in a way that traditional talking therapy alone does not.
I work with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, grief, issues in relationships, ADHD, low self-esteem, people-pleasing, anger, loneliness, spirituality and integrating experiences with non-ordinary states of consciousness.
My experience comes from the years I’ve spent in bereavement services, general adult therapy services and private practice.
