Olivia Notter

Olivia Notter offers calm, steady support for people feeling stuck, hurt or unsure about their next steps. She listens for what matters to each person and helps them notice how feelings appear in the body. Olivia writes simply and kindly, helping people feel seen and heard as they talk through painful memories and relationship problems.

Olivia is a holistic psychologist with eight years of clinical experience. She trained at doctoral and masters level in psychology, including a PhD and a Master of Clinical Psychology. Her work has included supporting people affected by trauma, sexual and other forms of abuse, anxiety, depression and low self-worth.

Her approach blends practical and reflective methods. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Jungian ideas and Mindfulness practices to suit each person’s needs. Sessions often look at body sensations as a route into feelings and memories, especially when past trauma has separated physical feeling from thought.

Olivia encourages curiosity rather than self-blame. She helps people notice patterns like control issues, dissociation, panic and isolation and then experiment with different ways of responding. The aim is to make painful feelings less overwhelming and to help people find choices that feel more authentic.

People who want to explore relationship difficulties, narcissism-related concerns, grief, sexual assault, or the question of life purpose often find her style useful.

How Olivia's approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then taking steps that match your values. It can help with anxiety, depression and finding direction when life feels uncertain. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful cycles, which suits mood and panic concerns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) supports understanding emotional patterns in relationships and can help with communication problems and attachment wounds.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Olivia will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and try different methods to see what fits. This is a collaborative process where techniques are adapted to your situation rather than a fixed plan imposed at the start.

The therapist's biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They also let people use mindfulness or somatic exercises in familiar surroundings and work around daytime commitments more easily. Appropriately registered therapists can tailor sessions to the way you prefer to connect, helping therapy feel practical and manageable.
