About Oliver
Oliver Tatchell is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. He supports people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression. Oliver aims to make the first step easier by offering a calm, non-judgemental space to talk.
He invites clients to bring whatever feels most pressing. Sessions focus on clear, manageable goals and on practical ways to cope day to day.
Background and approach
Conversation is straightforward and led by what each person needs to talk about in the moment. Oliver uses a mix of approaches suited to the issue at hand. He draws on client-centred work to build a respectful therapeutic relationship.
Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and habits. Mindfulness tools are offered to help with stress, sleeping problems and emotional overwhelm. For those affected by past harm, trauma-focused methods can help people process painful memories at a careful pace.
He works in plain language and keeps things focused on what helps in ordinary life. Sessions can include practical homework, thought records or short mindfulness exercises. Oliver aims to help people find steadier ways of coping and clearer choices about what comes next.

Approaches Oliver lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
He also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which focuses on recognising unhelpful thoughts and trying practical steps to change patterns. CBT can be helpful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems and everyday coping challenges.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, try methods that suit those goals and adjust over time. Clients are encouraged to give feedback so the work stays relevant.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls recreate face-to-face conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a simpler check-in, while live chat and text messaging support short updates or reflection between sessions. These options give flexibility for different days and different energy levels, and let people continue therapy even when travel or schedules are difficult.
