About Olivia
Olivia Tay offers calm, steady support for people wrestling with sleep problems, stress and low mood. She helps clients who are anxious, grieving, or coping with big life changes. Olivia aims to make it easier to talk about painful feelings and painful nights, and to take small steps toward better rest and daily balance.
Olivia works in a warm, non-judgemental way that centres what each person brings to a session. She listens first and helps set practical goals you can try between meetings. Sessions often focus on simple routines, coping strategies and ways to notice what keeps worry or sleeplessness going.
Her approach draws on several methods to match different needs. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centred techniques are used to help people spot unhelpful thoughts, accept difficult emotions, and build clearer values-based actions. Solution-Focused ideas help identify small, useful changes to try quickly.
Olivia trained and works in the United Kingdom and holds BACP accreditation, which is noted in her credentials as BACP. She has three years of professional experience supporting people through anxiety, depression, relationship strain and trauma-related concerns.
Sessions can include practical strategies for sleep, dealing with grief, managing anger and improving self-esteem. She speaks English as well as Akan, Ewe and Twi, which can help when cultural context matters. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.
How her approaches work in online therapy
Olivia commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centred methods to shape online work. CBT helps people notice and test unhelpful thoughts and habits that make sleep and mood worse. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports noticing difficult feelings while taking actions that match what matters to the person. Client-Centred work focuses on close listening and reflecting what the client is experiencing to build trust and clarity.Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, try methods that seem likely to help, and adjust over time. Clients are invited to feedback so the plan can change if something does not fit.
Practically, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life by removing travel and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. If session formats are important to you, please confirm current options before booking so you know how meetings will be arranged. The emphasis is on making therapy work around daily routines and on trying exercises at home between sessions.
