About Olivia
Olivia Notter offers calm, direct support for people coping with panic, anxiety and relationship stress. She uses simple, grounded conversations to help someone notice what is happening in their body and keep going when things feel overwhelming. Olivia writes plainly and meets people where they are, offering steady guidance rather than quick fixes.
Olivia describes her approach as holistic. She pays attention to the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual parts of a person. That means sessions often include noticing bodily sensations and how they connect to thoughts and feelings. This can be useful for panic, dissociation, trauma and mood changes.
Her background combines academic training with personal exploration. Olivia holds a PhD in Psychology and a Masters in Clinical Psychology, and has eight years of professional experience in a range of settings. She has worked with people who have faced relationship difficulties, abuse, transitions, low self-worth, anxiety and depression.
In session Olivia aims to help people find their own answers. She encourages honest reflection and practical steps you can try between meetings. Work often focuses on reducing self-judgement, building self-understanding and easing difficult sensations in the body.
People who value a thoughtful, body-aware approach may find her style helpful. If the way she describes working resonates, the next step is a short conversation to check fit and goals before scheduling.
How Olivia’s approaches can work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps you notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, and then choose actions that match your values. It is useful for anxiety, panic and life changes because it focuses on doing what matters even when emotions are strong. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical techniques to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT is commonly used for panic, social anxiety and mood difficulties. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention skills to calm the nervous system and reduce reactivity to uncomfortable sensations or thoughts, which can help with panic and worry.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with you to try different ways of working and decide what helps most for your goals and circumstances. Sessions can blend elements from these approaches so the work fits your needs rather than following a fixed script.
The original biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone have face-to-face style conversations without needing to be in the same town, and it supports continuity of care during life transitions. Appropriately qualified or registered professionals can adapt ACT, CBT and mindfulness exercises to work well in remote sessions.
