Rosalind Oliver , BACP

Rosalind Oliver is an integrative humanistic counselling psychotherapist who brings a multidisciplinary background to work with adults aged 19 to 65, including people from the LGBTQIA+ community. Her clinical focus includes depression, anxiety and stress, relationship difficulties, trauma including childhood sexual abuse, disordered eating, and major life transitions. She combines a person-centred foundation with psychodynamic insight and practical, evidence-informed techniques to tailor therapy to each individual.

Trained with an LLB (Hons) and a master’s in psychology, Rosalind is a registered member of BACP. BACP is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom. Her practice blends experiential and relational methods with cognitive-behavioural skills, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) techniques, and brief targeted interventions where helpful, such as mindfulness and somatic awareness to help ground clients in the present.

With two decades of international experience that include ten years in artist management and roles in law and healthcare administration, Rosalind understands the pressures of demanding careers, creative industries, and high-stakes professional environments. That background informs her work with professionals and creatives who face performance pressure, burnout, and career transitions, as well as clients coping with attachment injuries, eating concerns, addictions, and family-of-origin issues. She adapts sessions to client needs and offers therapy both online and in person, integrating compassion, practical skills, and a collaborative therapeutic relationship.

Therapeutic approaches and flexible online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages acceptance of difficult thoughts and feelings while helping clients clarify what matters to them and take committed action toward those values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, low mood, and life transitions by building psychological flexibility. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns in connections and emotional regulation; it helps clients understand attachment injuries and work toward healthier ways of relating in close relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviours to reduce distress and improve coping. CBT techniques are often applied for anxiety, depression, and emotion regulation challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Rosalind works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as therapy progresses so the work remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter interactions are possible through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, and creative schedules, and they help therapists and clients maintain continuity of care across busy or changing lives.
