Oliver Tatchell, BACP, NCPS

Oliver Tatchell is a counsellor registered with the BACP and NCPS and has four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. He works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, low self‑esteem, depression, addictions, relationship strains and anger. Sessions focus on practical ways to reduce reactivity and improve day-to-day coping.

Oliver uses straightforward conversation and active listening to help people talk through what is happening for them. He aims to make space for difficult feelings so they can be understood and managed. The early work often looks at immediate reactions and simple skills to reduce overwhelm.

Alongside short-term coping strategies, he draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and try new patterns. Mindfulness practices are used to build awareness of bodily and emotional signals. Where trauma or abuse is relevant, trauma‑focused approaches guide how to work with distress without becoming retraumatised.

Sessions lay out steps and experiments rather than long lectures. People commonly bring examples from home or work, and the practical focus is on what can be changed now. Oliver also supports people facing life transitions, career pressures, parenting strain and issues around intimacy.

He works in English and is based in the UK. If a reader wants to start, the next step is to use the site button to view online therapy options and complete the short matching questionnaire before booking a first session.
