Olivia Kellett , BACP

Olivia Kellett is a counsellor who focuses on relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues and self-esteem. She speaks English, Russian and Ukrainian and works with people from different countries while based in the United Kingdom. Olivia aims to help people notice strengths they already have and use those strengths to face difficult moments.

Olivia describes therapy as a collaborative process. She brings a warm approach and a touch of levity to sessions while taking the work seriously. Her background includes five years of professional experience and she holds BACP accreditation, which indicates registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

In the room she uses a mix of approaches tailored to the person sitting across from her. She draws on attachment-based ideas when relationships and closeness are central concerns. Cognitive behavioural techniques help with patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep people stuck. Emotionally focused and client-centred ways of working support emotional expression and a clearer sense of self.

Olivia also attends to issues often linked with relationships, such as abandonment, codependency, commitment worries, infidelity and blended family challenges. She offers practical guidance for coping with isolation, guilt and shame, and the fallout of separation or divorce.

People who prefer different communication styles can choose from video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging. Sessions are provided through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and arrangements are scheduled after a short matching questionnaire.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Attachment-based work focuses on how people connect and feel safe with others, helping when trust, closeness or abandonment issues are central. It looks at patterns in relationships and what new ways of relating might feel like.

Client-centred therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens without judgement, reflects what they hear and helps people make sense of their feelings and choices. Cognitive behavioural therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and actions, and then tests small changes to change how someone feels and behaves.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels useful, and then try methods collaboratively. This means approaches can shift over time as needs change and progress is reviewed together.

Online sessions can be more flexible to fit into busy lives. Video calls let people read facial cues and body language, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can suit shorter check-ins, and live chat or text messaging allows ongoing support without needing to be on camera. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family and travel commitments.
