About Oliver
Oliver Tatchell is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. He helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or low mood. He also supports those coping with grief, struggling with self-esteem, or seeking more motivation and confidence.
Oliver aims to make the first step easier. He creates a calm, non-judgemental space where people can speak about painful or confusing feelings. He encourages honesty and pace so conversations feel manageable.
Background and approach
In sessions he uses practical methods drawn from client-centred work and cognitive behavioural ideas. This can mean listening first, then working together to spot unhelpful thinking and try small, realistic changes. Mindfulness and trauma-focused approaches are also part of his toolkit when they suit a person's needs.
Oliver has supported people with a wide range of concerns, including relationship difficulties, addiction, sleep and eating problems, parenting strain, ADHD and issues related to LGBT identity. He also helps with consequences of trauma, grief after loss, and work-related compassion fatigue. He holds BACP and NCPS credentials, which are recorded here as supplied.
Sessions are offered in English. To begin a conversation clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange appointments based on the therapist's schedule.

Approaches that shape online counselling
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening without judgement and helping people find their own solutions. It is useful when someone needs a calm space to talk and to make sense of difficult feelings.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. It offers practical exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and build new habits, which can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.
Mindfulness practices teach simple ways to bring attention to the present moment. They can reduce rumination and support coping with stress and emotion regulation.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs and preferences. That decision is revisited as progress is made so the plan can change together with the client.
Session formats are not specified in the profile, so check the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need a quieter arrangement during a workday break.
