Trauma and PTSD Counselling in Nottingham
I work with trauma, anxiety, and depression, offering a compassionate and safe space to explore your experiences.
You may find yourself feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or weighed down by thoughts and emotions that seem to repeat, and you’re beginning to wonder why certain patterns keep showing up. You might be looking for space to understand yourself more deeply, make sense of your experiences, or develop healthier ways of coping and relating. I offer a safe, client-centred space where you can explore at your own pace. Over time, therapy can help you feel more regulated, grounded, and able to build a balanced, connected life.

I specialise in trauma related stress/ PTSD, EMDR and anxiety based difficulties.
Knowing is different to believing - and you can understand why you feel the way you feel without actually changing the feeling. Life doesn’t always go to plan, and you might feel stuck, lost or overwhelmed. If you're feeling unable to move on from events of the past, struggle with self esteem, confidence, or direction feel out of reach, you’re not alone. I’m here to help you make sense of what you’re feeling, find some calm, and begin moving forward in a way that works for you.
If you want a non judgement, engaged space to move with support to move forward then I am here and want to help you.

I work from a trauma-aware lens.
I specialise in developing a relationship with you based on realness, warmth & trust, so that you can talk about your trauma, mental health, and overwhelming or complex thoughts & emotions. Through our therapeutic relationship, the unconscious will emerge; how you have unconsciously positioned yourself in life, and the feelings that have been repressed.

Hi there, welcome to my profile. You might have arrived here with a clear sense of what hurts, or are struggling to understand what is difficult. You may be lost, stuck, or scared.

If you're living with stress, anxiety, PTSD or the lasting effects of difficult life experiences, therapy can help you understand why these patterns developed and, more importantly, how they can change.
I work with adults and young people, experiencing trauma, PTSD, anxiety, burnout, grief, relationship difficulties and the effects of emotional or psychological abuse. Together we'll explore not only what's happening now, but where these patterns began, helping you move beyond surviving and towards a life that feels lighter, calmer and more fulfilling.

Life can be tough at times, can make us feel undervalued, overwhelmed and maybe quite a lonely place to be. Therapy can help us understand ourselves a little better, value our uniqueness that makes us who we are.

I am passionate about ensuring neuro-divergent people can access therapy and adapt my ways of working to meet their needs. I ensure I complete regular CPD and training in Trauma focused CBT, Theraplay Level 1, DDP Level 1&2, therapeutic parenting and training via PODS specializing in DID. Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy.

I support clients facing a range of challenges such as trauma, anxiety, depression, anger, self-harm and suicidal thoughts.
I’m Olivia, a Level 7 therapist working with adults and young people. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck in unhelpful patterns, or uncertain, I aim to meet you as you are and work at a pace that feels safe for you, creating a space built on collaboration, trust and emotional safety.
My approach is integrative and highly individualised, focusing on you as a whole person- your experiences, strengths, challenges and the meaning you make of them- rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model.

On the outside, you may look as though you are coping well: capable, thoughtful, and perhaps even successful in the eyes of others. But inside, things may feel more tender or uncertain. You might find yourself doubting who you are, second-guessing your choices, or trying hard to be good, perfect, or liked. Perhaps you often feel you have to earn your place, or carry a quiet sense of rejection that never fully goes away. Beneath these feelings, there may be something deeper: shame. Even if that word does not quite fit for you, you may recognise what it feels like to not feel good enough, or to feel disconnected from others.

I specialise in self esteem, trauma, interpersonal issues, rumination, mood issues, work-life balance, stress management, gender based issues, systemic discrimination and neurodivergence.
What happened to us, doesn't have to define us. The narrative of our issues can be transformed in something different. A healing story that can give you empowerment and freedom. We can feel angry, anxious, frozen, stuck but we may not always know why. You may look for happiness or you feel you are lost. Or perhaps, you still don't know what's missing. Regardless, I understand it's important for you to know how to cope and what really matters to you. Finding and challenging your personal story, may give you the answers you are looking for. I can help with that!
