Counselling with Olivia
start your journey to wholeness
At Counselling with Olivia, I provide a safe, empathetic, and nurturing environment to help you navigate life’s challenges and achieve emotional well-being.
About Me
A Bit About Me
Hi, I’m Olivia. I use person-centered, narrative and solution focused therapies to help people explore their feelings and move into their preferred identities that will propel them to live a life filled with joy and hope. I teach useful strategies that can help with anxiety, regulating feelings, confidence, and social skills, as well as helping people find the root cause of the problems they face. I have experience working with all ages and especially love my work with children, adolescents, and young people. I also have a special interest in neurodiversity, autism, and ADHD.
I was raised in a multicultural environment and love working with people from all cultures. I speak Spanish as a second language and have experienced life overseas; therefore, I understand the dynamics and systems of individualistic and collectivistic cultures.
I have experience working with issues of anxiety, depression, anger, trauma, faith, identity, and neurodiversity. I work one-on-one and relationally (including family or friends in a session if necessary or beneficial)
How a Session will Work
Discussing Your Goals
We will start by discussing what you hope to achieve from counselling. This includes identifying what methods have been effective for you in the past and which have not.
Exploring Your Reasons for Counselling
We will delve into the specific issues that have led you to seek therapy.
Understanding the root causes and the impact these issues have had on your life is crucial.
If there are topics you are not comfortable discussing, we will acknowledge them and move on if necessary.
Working Towards Solutions
Exploring unconscious beliefs and working to replace them with healthier ones.
Implementing strategies or skills to help you navigate life and relationships with greater ease.
Noticing patterns and themes in your experiences and processing what they mean to you.
End of the Session
We will discuss how the session went for you and what you have taken away from it.
This reflection helps me understand if I need to adapt or change my approach to better suit your needs.
Follow-Up Sessions
We will follow up on the issues discussed in previous sessions and review how you have been managing them.
Each session will focus on what you’d like to address, either introducing new topics or continuing from where we left off.
This structure ensures that our counselling sessions are tailored to your specific needs and provide a supportive environment for you to work towards your goals.
