About Olivia

Olivia Kellett is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of experience. She helps people with relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, and low self-esteem. Olivia speaks English, Russian and Ukrainian and accepts international clients.

Her approach is grounded in Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside attachment-based and client-centred work. Sessions focus on naming difficult emotions and patterns that keep repeating in close relationships. She uses straightforward conversation and practical steps to help people notice how emotion and attachment shape their choices.

Olivia describes therapy as a mix of serious work and lightness. She encourages people to recognise their existing strengths and use them to manage painful feelings and memories. Practical tools from cognitive behavioural and mindfulness approaches are used when they suit a person’s goals.

She has experience supporting people through abandonment, attachment difficulties, infidelity and blended family tensions. Other concerns she works with include codependency, commitment and control issues, guilt and shame, isolation and coping after disasters.

Sessions typically look at current relationship patterns, emotional triggers and small experiments to try between meetings. Olivia aims to help people notice shifts in how they relate to themselves and others, and to build more reliable ways of responding in stressful moments.

How EFT and attachment ideas translate to remote work

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and shifting the emotional patterns that keep people stuck in painful relationship cycles. It helps name core feelings and practice new ways of responding in close relationships.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early and current attachment patterns and how they affect trust and closeness. It can help when abandonment, codependency or commitment worries keep reappearing.

Client-Centred Therapy prioritises a conversational stance where the person’s experience leads the work. The counsellor reflects and clarifies so the person can make sense of feelings and choose next steps.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Olivia will help clients decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she adapts the focus as needs change. That process is collaborative and reviewed as therapy continues.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists and registered or accredited professionals often use remote sessions to keep therapy practical and to support steady progress while living everyday life.
