Support for stress, anxiety and life changes
About Olivia
Olivia Tay helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or low mood. She offers calm, practical support for those struggling with self-esteem, confidence and motivation. Olivia makes space for honest conversations about difficult feelings and life changes.
She works in a warm, non-judgemental way and encourages people to say what matters to them. Sessions centre on what someone wants to change, and small steps that fit into everyday life.
Background and approach
Olivia draws on techniques that help with unhelpful thoughts and with taking values-based action. Her background includes three years of professional experience supporting people through loss, relationship strain, trauma and sleep or eating difficulties. She uses a mix of short-term focused methods and deeper conversation when that feels helpful.
That combination supports both practical coping and longer-term understanding of patterns of feeling. Olivia is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She speaks English and several Ghanaian languages including Akan, Ewe and Twi.
She accepts international clients and offers a range of session formats to suit different needs. People who choose Olivia often want straightforward help that fits into a busy life. She works together with each person to set realistic goals and to test what helps most.
The aim is clearer thinking, steadier mood and more confidence in handling life changes.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviours to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. It often helps with anxiety, sleep problems and low mood. Client-Centred Therapy offers a calm, listening space where a counsellor reflects and supports a person to find their own solutions and build confidence.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Olivia will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and review progress, adapting the plan as needed so work feels practical and relevant.
Online therapy with video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging gives flexible ways to fit sessions into daily life. Video calls let people see non-verbal cues for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and messaging suit those who prefer typing and want ongoing contact between sessions. These options make it easier to access a registered or accredited professional from different locations and at times that suit busy schedules.
