About Olivia
Olivia Stewart is a BACP counsellor with three years of clinical experience and a decade of background in caring roles. She works with people in short and longer term sessions, focusing on practical steps to reduce stress and anxiety and improve day-to-day coping.
Olivia presents herself as a steady, straightforward practitioner who helps clients talk through difficult moments and find safer ways forward. Her approach is relational and client-centred. She emphasises listening first and following what matters most to the person in front of her.
Background and approach
Olivia draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to spot patterns in thoughts and actions that keep stress and low mood active. She also uses elements of psychodynamic and existential thinking to help people look at deeper themes such as attachment, life purpose and repeating relationship patterns.
Solution-focused work appears in sessions when clients prefer clear, short-term goals and practical tools to try between meetings. Common concerns she works with include relationships, family tensions, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, sleep problems, anger and self-esteem. Additional focuses listed are abandonment, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and communication problems.
Olivia offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. Clients use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
Therapeutic ways to reduce anxiety online
Olivia draws on client-centred work that puts the person’s priorities first. This approach means sessions begin with what matters most to the client and build on their existing strengths and insights. It is useful for people who want a supportive space to make sense of their feelings.She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. CBT offers clear techniques to try between sessions, such as small behavioural changes and thought experiments that can reduce anxiety and improve sleep.
Finding the right mix of approaches is treated as a joint process. The therapist talks things through with each person and adjusts methods to match their goals, pace and preferences. Clients can try practical exercises, reflect on deeper patterns, or combine both depending on what helps most.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that is preferred. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit people who want shorter, more frequent touchpoints or who prefer writing to talking. These options help fit therapy into busy lives while keeping the focus on achieving clear, usable steps.
