About Oliver
Oliver Tatchell is a counsellor registered with BACP and NCPS in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. He works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression. He also supports people facing relationship and intimacy challenges and those coping with significant life changes.
Oliver's way of working focuses on listening and helping people make sense of painful or confusing experiences. He uses clear, practical conversation to identify what feels stuck and what can be tried differently. Sessions are straightforward and aimed at small, manageable steps rather than big promises.
He draws on client-centred methods to make space for each person's priorities. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) ideas are used when helpful to spot patterns of thinking and try different responses. Mindfulness practices may be offered to reduce stress and improve focus, and trauma-focused approaches are used when past events continue to affect daily life.
People contact him about a wide range of concerns including addiction, ADHD, parenting pressures and blended family issues. He also supports those dealing with anger, sleep or eating difficulties, and career or caregiver stress. Oliver keeps explanations plain and avoids technical language so conversations stay useful and easy to follow.

How his approaches work for online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on what matters most to the individual and relies on clear listening and reflection. Online sessions using this approach let the client set the agenda and explore immediate concerns in a conversational way. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical experiments to change unhelpful patterns. Over video or phone this can include short exercises, homework tasks and checking progress between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy offers simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and improve focus; these can be guided during a session and then practised between meetings.Choosing the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to identify which approach or combination fits best for their goals, needs and preferences. That decision is reviewed as the work progresses rather than fixed at the start.
If you prefer to meet remotely, confirm the exact session formats before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and travel, reduce the time needed to attend, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits. The emphasis is on making sessions practical and workable for everyday life.
