About Olivia

Olivia Knight uses practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage stress, anxiety and relationship concerns. She is a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) registrant with three years of experience. Olivia writes plainly and aims to make sessions feel straightforward and useful for everyday life.

She focuses on trauma and abuse, including domestic violence, and supports people dealing with gender dysphoria and neurodivergence. Olivia also helps with low self esteem, motivation and confidence.

Background and approach

She works with people who are coping with life changes and those trying to rebuild after difficult events. In sessions she treats the person as the expert in their own life. Conversations centre on what is happening now and what small steps could make a difference.

Olivia uses practical tools to reduce anxiety and manage stress, and she talks through relationship concerns in ways that feel manageable. Her approach aims to be clear and collaborative. People can expect short-term strategies alongside deeper work when needed.

Olivia encourages clients to notice their strengths and to use those strengths to move forward. She offers therapy in English and accepts people based in other countries. The first step is a short matching questionnaire, then scheduling that fits the client's availability.

Olivia welcomes those who have taken the first step and are ready to begin.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online therapy

Olivia uses straightforward, evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on what helps most in daily life. One common approach is short-term cognitive strategies that identify unhelpful thinking patterns and teach practical ways to reduce anxiety and stress. These techniques suit people who want clear steps to manage symptoms and feel more in control.

Another approach emphasises trauma-informed care that helps people process past harm at a manageable pace. This involves grounding exercises, pacing the work, and building safety before addressing difficult memories. It can be useful for those recovering from abuse or domestic violence and for people coping with gender-related distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with clients about their goals, preferences and day-to-day needs and will adapt methods accordingly. This collaborative process helps decide whether short-term skills, deeper trauma work, or a blend of both is most helpful.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face contact, phone sessions need less bandwidth, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to include around work, family and other commitments.
