About Olivia
Olivia Tay offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or low self-esteem. She introduces simple ways to manage everyday problems and helps clients take small steps towards clearer thinking and more balanced routines. Olivia aims to create an accepting space where people can speak openly about difficult feelings and start to make changes that matter to them.
Olivia uses a mix of approaches to suit different needs. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviours. Solution-Focused ideas help set short-term goals and track small wins.
With three years of experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), Olivia brings steady, respectful support to sessions. Her background includes helping people cope with life changes, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and issues that affect sleep and eating.
Sessions are conversational and practical. Olivia listens first, then helps design steps you can try between meetings. She encourages a collaborative pace so people feel able to work at a speed that suits them.
Olivia offers appointments from the United Kingdom and can work with people who speak English, Akan, Ewe or Twi. If you want to know more about how she might help, start by completing the short matching questionnaire on the platform.
Approaches you might use in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without trying to fight them. It supports clarifying values and taking committed action towards what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviours to reduce symptoms and improve daily routines. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises listening and empathy to help people feel heard and understood while they work through concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Olivia will discuss different methods with each person and choose what fits best with their goals and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around busy family life and work. Many people find it simpler to attend without travel and to plan shorter check-ins when needed. Confirm the exact session options before booking, since the biography does not list specific formats. Registered or accredited professionals can use online sessions to run goal-focused work, talk therapies and practical exercises that suit day-to-day life.
