Olivia is a Registered Clinical Counsellor with her Masters in Counselling Psychology. Her path to becoming a counsellor has been deeply shaped by her personal life experiences and the transformative support she has received from counsellors along the way. These experiences, combined with her professional background working with diverse clients in an equine setting, have fostered her profound appreciation for the power of connection, understanding, and healing.

In her work, she helps clients explore patterns in their thoughts, behaviours, and relationships to uncover insights into their experiences. From this foundation, she collaborates with clients to develop strategies that align with their values, empowering them to build resilience and move confidently toward their goals.
Olivia believes in the transformative power of kindness, curiosity, and authentic connection. Her goal is to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel genuinely heard and understood.
