Hello! I'm Olivia, a Integrative Counsellor working in the Stroud area. I see clients from my peaceful and private practice room in Nailsworth and also online. Reaching out to a counsellor can be daunting and so I know it can be helpful to understand a bit more about my approach.

What do you love most about your job?
I love connecting with clients in a deep and meaningful way, building an authentic therapeutic relationship where they feel truly safe to explore their present and past experiences and their internal worlds. There's something incredibly powerful about witnessing someone work through what once felt overwhelming and move toward living more fully and authentically. Seeing clients grow, heal and ultimately flourish is the most rewarding part of my work.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I understand how difficult life can be and how early experiences can shape us in ways that don't always feel right. But I also know that, given the right environment, we have the capacity to change, heal and grow. Neuroscience has proven our ability for neuroplasticity - our past does not have to define us. My own journey has shown me the power of self-exploration and transformation, and that is what inspired me to create a space where others can experience the same.
Why should our clients choose you?
Clients choose to work with me because I offer a deeply compassionate, professional and authentic space where they can feel truly seen and heard. My approach is Humanistic and Integrative - drawing on Psychodynamic principles to explore how past experiences shape the present. I believe in the power of a genuine therapeutic relationship - one where clients can safely process their struggles, gain insight and move toward a more fulfilling and authentic life.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
As well as offering in-person sessions, I offer online counselling through Whereby video conferencing.
