About me and my therapy practice
Hello, I'm Olivia. An online Counsellor, Psychotherapist, and founder of Tender Hearts Therapy.
I help to empower you to feel emotionally and personally fulfilled in your life.
The first steps to starting therapy are often the most daunting, I'm here to help make the process as comfortable and calming as possible.
Clients finish therapy with me feeling more grounded, with a sense of inner peace, a deeper clarity and acceptance of who they are, and the confidence to start living in a way they have been yearning for.
I offer a kind and supportive space online, to listen to you with an open heart, to hold you and your story with tenderness, and to guide you through this time.
Where You Are Right Now
If you're feeling lost, anxious, hopeless, and in need of some support, know that you're not alone.
We will all struggle in our lives at some point - it's part of the human experience and many face challenges in life that can leave them feeling overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, alone, and uncertain about the future.
Does This Feel Familiar?
Maybe you're stood at a 'crossroads' in your life, or perhaps you feel like the floor has disappeared from underneath you and you've been freefalling for a while.
You may experience a clenching sensation in your chest or stomach that you label as anxiety or depression. There may be a fear of losing control of your life or yourself, and a persistent sense of being on high alert to danger or rejection, leaving you feeling emotionally drained. A mental fog may prevent you from staying on task or fully engaging in your life, making it challenging to stay present with the people you love and care for, and hindering your ability to open your heart completely. Maybe you are consumed with self-loathing and fear in terms of your body image or self-esteem.
Maybe you feel like you just don't know who you are anymore.
Practice description
I specialise in working with a range of experiences, including anxiety, depression,people-pleasing, body image and self-esteem issues, relationship challenges, highly sensitive personality, menstrual cycles, PMS, quarter-life crisis, and major life transitions such as grief, loss, trauma, or simply entering a new chapter in your life.
As a therapist, my training is rooted in the wonderful world of Humanistic Counselling and Psychotherapy, with a particular focus on Person-Centred Therapy. Person-Centred Therapy is an approach that puts you, the client, at the heart of everything we do.
In my approach to therapy, I'm a big believer in blending different humanistic approaches to create a more holistic healing experience, unique to each individual client. This includes Person-Centred Therapy, Compassion Focused Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, Existentialism, Focusing, Somatic Experiencing, Internal Family Systems, Third-Wave CBT, Trauma-Informed, and Psychoeducation. I believe that your well-being is a sum of all your parts - your physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and sociocultural aspects all play a role in how you're feeling.
And let's be real, finding a fulfilling and stress-free balance in life can be a real challenge today in our modern world, and that's why I offer online therapy - it's convenient, more affordable, and flexible, allowing you to access the support you need from the comfort of your own private space.
In online therapy, we will work together to help you embrace your whole self and navigate life's ups and downs with more ease and joy. Working with, rather than against, the inevitable ebbs and flows of life.
We'll create a space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings without fear of being rejected or criticised. My approach to therapy values your subjective experience, and above all, your inherent worth and dignity as a human being.
My first session
I offer a free 15-minute consultation. The consultation is a time for you to tell me where you are right now and what has brought you to therapy.
This may be the first time for you to offload some of the heaviness you have been carrying.
You will be able to get a feel for working with me online and decide if Tender Hearts Therapy feels right for you.
If you decide to proceed, we will begin your therapy journey. We will meet weekly/bi-weekly for online sessions via Google Meet in a confidential space, providing emotional safety and stability whilst we figure this out together, working towards a place where you can feel more light and free.
I believe that every person has a unique and valuable story to share, no matter how big or small it feels, that deserves tenderness and time.
Please know that you don't have to carry on alone in this - reach out to me today at tenderheartstherapy.co.uk or olivia.tenderhearts@gmail.com
