About Oliver

Oliver Tatchell helps people work through stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression. He works with concerns such as addiction, relationship and intimacy issues, sleep and eating difficulties, parenting strain, career stress and ADHD. He uses client-centred methods alongside cognitive behavioural and mindfulness approaches. Oliver is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) and has four years of professional experience.

Oliver meets clients in direct, practical sessions that focus on what matters now. He listens to current problems and helps people identify small, manageable steps to change thinking and routine. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to spot patterns in thoughts and behaviour and to practise different responses. Mindfulness tools are introduced to reduce reactivity and improve day-to-day focus.

In sessions that take a client-centred shape, the counselling is guided by the person’s concerns and priorities. When trauma or abuse is relevant, trauma-focused methods are applied to address distress linked to past events. Oliver works with issues linked to attachment, abandonment and relationship breakdown, and he supports people coping with carer stress and blended family challenges.

Sessions are straightforward and paced to suit the person. He helps clients with practical problem solving around communication, boundaries and commitment issues. Work on body image, self-esteem and motivation often includes short exercises and homework to try between sessions.

Oliver practises in the United Kingdom and offers counselling in English. He is registered with BACP and NCPS and brings four years of experience to each meeting.

How his approaches work in online counselling

Client-centred therapy is based on meeting the person’s concerns and priorities. The counsellor listens, reflects and helps the client set the pace and focus for each session, which can help with low mood, self-esteem and relationship problems.

Cognitive behavioural therapy identifies unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and offers practical techniques to change them. It is often used for anxiety, stress, sleeping and eating difficulties by working on small exercises and homework between sessions.

Mindfulness practice teaches attention and breathing techniques to reduce reactivity and increase everyday focus. It can be useful alongside CBT for people dealing with worry or overwhelming emotions.

Deciding on the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and agree a plan together. This collaborative discussion helps decide which methods to try first and how to review progress.

Confirm the session formats before booking, as the profile does not list them. Online counselling can make it easier to fit appointments into a working week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people join sessions from different locations when that helps with scheduling and access.
