Oliver Tatchell, BACP, NCPS

Oliver Tatchell is a UK-credentialed therapist with four years of professional experience. He holds BACP and NCPS credentials, indicating registration with recognised counselling and psychotherapy bodies in the United Kingdom. Oliver has worked with people facing stress and anxiety, those coping with grief and loss, and clients seeking greater motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. He also has experience supporting people living with depression.

Oliver approaches therapy by creating an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be expressed and explored. He encourages small, courageous steps toward a more fulfilling and happier life and offers steady support throughout that process. His practice focuses on helping people build practical insight and personal resilience so they can navigate difficult emotions and life changes more effectively.

Whether someone comes seeking short-term coping strategies or longer-term personal growth, Oliver aims to work collaboratively to identify meaningful goals and to support each person as they move toward them.

Online therapeutic approaches and support

Oliver integrates several established approaches that translate well to online work. Client-Centered Therapy places the person at the heart of the process, offering empathic listening and acceptance so clients can explore feelings and values at their own pace; this approach is helpful for building self-esteem and improving emotional awareness. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management through practical exercises and structured reflection. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of thoughts and sensations, which can reduce rumination and improve emotional regulation for a range of concerns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Oliver will work with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and will adapt methods as therapy progresses so the chosen approach fits the individual rather than the other way around.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to access regular support around work, family, or mobility constraints. For many people, these options make consistent engagement more manageable while allowing therapists and registered professionals to provide focused, effective care.
