Olivia Osborne

My work is underpinned by an integrative and relational approach to counselling, psychotherapy and psychology. I believe in working collaboratively and tailoring my approach to your individual needs. As an integrative practitioner, I am able to draw on my knowledge of humanistic, existential, psychodynamic, compassion focused (CFT) and cognitive behavioural (CBT) approaches to help reduce psychological distress and to enhance psychological well-being. I believe in an openness of practice and tailoring my approach to the unique and individual needs of the client. I work collaboratively with you to ascertain which way of working best suits your current needs. As a relational practitioner, I value the importance of the therapeutic relationship as a healing process. At the heart of my practice is a commitment to providing a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space where you can feel able to explore your difficulties in depth and where you can begin to increase your self-understanding in order to bring change and possibility. As a registered member of the BACP, I adhere to the BACP’s Ethical Framework for Counselling Professionals.

I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and a Graduate member of the British Psychological Society (BPS). My training and clinical experience spans counselling psychology and psychotherapy. I have worked within various third sector and NHS mental health services, and I have particular experience working with anxiety, depression, loss, bereavement, ADHD, gambling addiction, relationship issues and maternal mental health. I am currently in the final stages of doctoral training to become a BPS accredited Chartered Counselling Psychologist. I have completed the taught and clinical components of this PsychD programme at the University of Roehampton, with the doctoral research study remaining. This is due to be completed in 2024.
