Oliver Tatchell , BACP, NCPS

Oliver Tatchell is a UK-credentialed counsellor with four years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, grief and loss, motivation challenges, low self-esteem and depression. He combines warmth and practical focus to help people explore difficult thoughts and feelings, building clearer perspectives and small, achievable steps toward change. He holds BACP and NCPS credentials, professional recognitions that reflect formal training and adherence to recognised standards in counselling and psychotherapy in the United Kingdom.

In sessions he aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where emotions and concerns can be expressed honestly. He works collaboratively to identify priorities, strengthen coping skills and nurture self-confidence, whether the focus is on managing day-to-day anxiety, processing bereavement, or finding motivation to move forward. Taking the first step toward a more fulfilling life can take courage, and Oliver offers steady support through that process, meeting each person where they are and tailoring his approach to their needs.

Approaches for Online Work and What to Expect

Oliver practises client-centered therapy, which focuses on providing a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where the person’s own goals and values guide the work. This approach helps with building self-understanding, confidence and motivation when facing challenges such as low self-esteem, relationship concerns or life transitions.

He also uses cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) to help identify and change unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns. CBT is practical and action-oriented, often useful for managing anxiety, depression and stress by developing coping strategies and problem-solving skills.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and is decided collaboratively. Oliver works with each person to assess their needs, preferences and goals, then adapts techniques from these approaches to fit the individual. Licensed professionals and therapists use this kind of flexible planning to ensure the work feels relevant and achievable.

Online sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, offering practical benefits like scheduling flexibility, easier access when travel is difficult, and the ability to continue work from home or another familiar space. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life while maintaining continuity of care.
