About Oliver
Oliver Tatchell is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). He has four years of professional experience and works with adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression. He also supports people dealing with parenting strains, relationship worries, addiction concerns and other life changes.
Oliver works in a straightforward, conversational way. He listens to what matters to the client and helps them notice patterns that make life harder. Sessions focus on practical steps alongside reflecting on feelings. Clients can expect clear, calm discussion rather than clinical jargon.
His sessions draw on client-centred principles, where the person leads the topic, and on cognitive behavioural tools to tackle unhelpful thinking and behaviour. Mindfulness practices are offered when helpful to manage anxiety and sleep problems. Trauma-informed approaches are used for people affected by past harm or abuse.
Oliver is used to working with concerns such as parenting pressure, intimacy issues, compassion fatigue and coping with major life shifts. He also supports people facing attachment, body image, or communication problems. Work may include short-term focused plans or longer conversations, depending on what the person wants.
He conducts sessions in English from the United Kingdom. Prospective clients choose an online therapy option, complete a brief matching questionnaire and book a first session to begin.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-centred therapy means sessions focus on what the person brings each week. The counsellor follows the client’s lead, reflects what is said and helps clarify priorities. This approach suits people who need a calm space to talk through day-to-day strains or parenting pressures.Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. In practical terms this can mean noticing unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviours between sessions. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and managing stress.
Mindfulness practice involves short exercises to help with worrying thoughts and grounding. These practices can be introduced in session and used between meetings to reduce rumination and help with sleep or emotional regulation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped in the past. Together they decide whether to emphasise client-centred listening, CBT techniques or mindfulness tasks depending on what seems most useful.

Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, allow quieter check-ins that avoid travel, and remove the need to sit in a waiting room. Registered or accredited professionals often use online sessions to keep regular contact and progress between meetings.
