Rosalind Oliver, BACP

Rosalind Oliver is an integrative, humanistic counselling psychotherapist who offers individual and couples work for adults. She works with people dealing with depression, anxiety and stress, trauma including childhood sexual abuse, disordered eating, relationship challenges, and complex life transitions. Rosalind welcomes clients from the LGBTQIA+ community and tailors each therapeutic plan to the person in front of her, combining humanistic presence with targeted, evidence-informed techniques.

Her practice blends person-centred values with psychodynamic exploration and cognitive-behavioural tools, and she draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Emotionally-Focused Therapy where appropriate. This approach aims to increase self-understanding, cultivate compassionate self-care, and provide practical strategies for emotion regulation, cognitive reframing, and behavioural change. She also uses experiential methods such as mindfulness and somatic awareness to help clients reconnect with the here-and-now and reduce distress.

Rosalind brings additional professional perspective from a varied career that includes working in the music and arts industries and time living and working in Germany. That background informs her understanding of high-pressure creative careers, performance-related stress, burnout, and workplace dynamics. She is registered with BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and offers therapy both online and in person, adapting the format to each client’s needs and preferences.

Tailored therapeutic approaches and flexible online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and reconnect with personal values so they can take meaningful action despite difficult feelings; it is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns, helping clients address abandonment, attachment injuries, and intimacy-related issues by building more secure ways of relating. Client-Centred Therapy centres the client's experience and priorities, offering empathic listening and collaboration to support self-understanding and growth across a range of concerns including depression and self-esteem.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Rosalind collaborates with each person to identify which methods feel most helpful, adapting techniques to fit individual needs, goals, and preferences rather than applying a single model from the outset.

Online therapy with Rosalind is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These remote options make it easier to maintain regular sessions during busy or transitional periods and allow registered professionals to deliver consistent, ongoing support without commuting to a clinic.
