Oliver Tatchell, BACP, NCPS

Oliver Tatchell is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety and low mood. He supports clients dealing with grief, self-esteem struggles and motivation. Oliver aims to create a non-judgemental space where people can talk through what matters to them.

Oliver's listed approaches include Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy. He blends these methods to match each person's needs rather than following a fixed template.

People also come to him for help with attachment and abandonment concerns, body image and codependency, blended family issues, and coping after domestic violence or separation. He also supports those affected by trauma and abuse and those experiencing compassion fatigue.

How his approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person as they are. It helps when someone needs space to make sense of feelings and to feel heard without judgement.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It involves practical exercises and small experiments to change unhelpful patterns, which can suit issues like anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple ways to bring attention to the present moment and notice thoughts without immediately reacting. This can help reduce rumination and support emotional regulation during stressful times.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and then try different ways of working to see what helps most. This is a collaborative process that can change over time as needs shift.

If you are considering online sessions, check which formats the therapist currently offers before booking. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit around work and family, or less draining than travel. Other practical benefits include shorter check-ins when time is tight, and options that use less bandwidth if internet speed is limited. Confirm the available session options when you arrange the first appointment.
