About Oliver
Oliver Tatchell is a counsellor registered with BACP and NCPS and has four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. He works with people who are dealing with stress and anxiety, grief and loss, motivation, self-esteem and confidence, and depression. Sessions are presented in plain language and aim to be straightforward and practical.
Oliver focuses on making it easier to talk about difficult feelings. He listens and reflects back what he hears so people can make sense of their thoughts. Conversations look at current problems and patterns that keep them stuck, then try small changes that can help day-to-day life.
He draws on client-centred work to prioritise the person's own goals and experience. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to identify unhelpful thinking and try different ways of responding. Mindfulness approaches help with grounding and noticing what is happening in the present.
Oliver also uses trauma-focused methods when past events continue to affect present wellbeing, taking care to move at a pace a person can manage. He combines these approaches while keeping sessions practical and easy to follow.
People meet him for help with relationships, sleep and eating concerns, parenting stress, addiction issues, ADHD-related struggles, and workplace stress. He describes his role as someone who helps people talk things through, test small changes, and weigh what works next.
To begin, prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions run through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person's own goals. Online sessions using this approach mean the counsellor reflects back what is said and helps the client decide what matters most to work on. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, actions and feelings and uses practical exercises. In online meetings this can include reviewing patterns, setting short experiments and agreeing homework between sessions.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss what fits best with the client's concerns, goals and personal preferences. This is a collaborative process and can be reviewed as things change.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around everyday life, such as shorter check-ins during a break or choosing a call that does not need video. It can also allow continuity when someone is travelling or has time constraints, while keeping the practical focus on usable steps and techniques.
