Rosalind Oliver, BACP

Rosalind Oliver is an integrative humanistic counselling psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom who works with adults, including LGBTQIA+ clients, across a range of emotional and relational difficulties. She offers individual and couples therapy for concerns such as depression, anxiety and stress, trauma and abuse, disordered eating, intimacy and relationship issues, compassion fatigue, and the challenges that come with major life transitions.

Her practice is built on a person-centred, holistic foundation that blends relational and experiential work with practical, evidence-informed techniques. Rosalind draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) strategies, attachment-focused understanding, and client-centred principles to tailor treatment to each person’s needs. She uses psychodynamic ideas to help identify patterns rooted in early experience while teaching emotion regulation, cognitive reframing and behavioural tools to reduce day-to-day distress.

Rosalind brings a multidisciplinary perspective shaped by two decades living in Germany and earlier careers that include artist management in the music industry and legal work. She has experience supporting professionals and creatives facing performance pressure, burnout and career transitions, and she understands how workplace dynamics and industry stressors can affect mental health. Rosalind is a registered member of BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and offers therapy both online and in person, adapting to client preferences and practical needs.

Approaches that guide online therapy and how it works

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports clients to clarify what matters most in their life and to take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts and feelings are present. It is often helpful for managing anxiety, low mood, and stress by building psychological flexibility.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early bonds influence current connections and emotional responses. This approach can be useful for relationship difficulties, intimacy-related concerns, and issues tied to abandonment or attachment injuries.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical techniques to identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop skills for emotion regulation and behavioural change. CBT-informed work can reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety and support coping with day-to-day challenges.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Rosalind works collaboratively with clients to explore which methods suit their goals, values and preferences, adjusting the focus as therapy progresses.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging increase flexibility and access, allowing therapy to fit around work, caregiving and travel. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to choose the format that feels most comfortable while working with a registered professional.
