About Olivia
Olivia Tay is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief and low self-esteem. She also helps those coping with life changes and difficulties around relationships, intimacy and family concerns.
Clients can expect straightforward, person-focused conversations. She uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centred and Psychodynamic ideas to guide sessions. Sessions aim to make thoughts and feelings easier to talk about and to explore practical steps that fit everyday life.
Olivia keeps language plain and sessions practical. She helps clients notice patterns that keep problems going and experiments with small changes. Work may include looking at thoughts and behaviours, values-based goals, and short-term problem solving when needed.
Her background includes training recognised by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP. She speaks English and several Ghanaian languages including Akan, Ewe and Twi, which some clients find helpful for expressing cultural or family matters.
To begin, clients follow the site process to complete a matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. She accepts international clients and uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. Confirm the current session formats on the booking page before you arrange a meeting.

Therapeutic approaches used in remote sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports people to clarify what matters to them and to take small steps aligned with those values. It often helps when worry or avoidance stops people doing things they care about.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing practical changes in behaviour. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and problems with sleep or motivation.
Client-Centred work places the person's experience at the centre of sessions, using listening and reflection to help people make sense of difficult feelings and decisions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and agree a plan based on the person's needs, goals and preferences. That plan can be adjusted as sessions progress so methods are a collaborative decision.
Confirm the current session formats on the booking page before arranging a meeting. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Discuss practical needs with the therapist at first contact so sessions can be arranged to fit everyday life.
