Olivia works with high achievers who are used to performing at a high level, but may be struggling with anxiety, perfectionism, self-doubt or burnout.

She helps clients understand what’s contributing to these difficulties and develop practical ways to respond differently.

Recognising that no two people experience pressure in the same way, Olivia takes a tailored approach to helping each client improve their wellbeing and quality of life. Her goal is to help high achievers develop the skills and confidence to manage pressure more effectively and work and live in a way that feels more sustainable.

You might look confident and capable on the outside, while constantly questioning yourself on the inside.

Olivia supports people who spend a lot of time worrying about how they’re coming across, or comparing themselves to others. Social anxiety and low self-esteem can quietly affect so much of life — from holding back in social situations, to finding it difficult to speak up, set boundaries or trust your own judgement.

For some, this can show up as high achievement: working hard to feel good enough, striving for perfection, or constantly seeking reassurance that you’re doing things right. Despite appearing confident and capable, you may find yourself caught in cycles of self-doubt, overthinking and fear of getting it wrong.

Olivia helps clients understand these patterns and develop the confidence and skills to respond differently. Her goal is to help you feel more comfortable in your own skin, trust yourself, and feel freer to engage in the people, opportunities and experiences that matter to you.

Olivia co-authored Social Set, our structured, skills-based course designed to reduce social anxiety and build confidence in social settings.

Sometimes, your mind just won’t switch off. You might find yourself worrying about what could go wrong, replaying conversations, running through every possible outcome, or lying awake at night with thoughts that won’t settle.

Olivia helps people who feel caught in cycles of anxiety and overthinking, particularly when they begin to affect sleep, concentration, relationships or the ability to enjoy the present moment. She helps clients develop practical skills to manage worry, quiet an overactive mind and improve sleep.

The goal isn’t to stop you from thinking or worrying altogether. It’s to help you feel less controlled by your thoughts, more comfortable with uncertainty, and better able to switch off and be present in your life.

Olivia appreciates that public speaking is an uncomfortable yet unavoidable aspect of student and work life.

She helps those with public speaking fears to develop practical mindset and communication skills so that they are not held back professionally and personally.

Olivia is trained in delivering our public speaking program, Speaking Volumes.

ADHD can affect far more than concentration. You might know exactly what you need to do, but struggle to get started, stay organised, manage time or follow through — which can leave you feeling frustrated, overwhelmed or like you’re constantly playing catch-up.

Olivia supports adults with ADHD to better understand how their brain works and develop practical strategies that fit the way they think and function. She can also help with the anxiety, self-doubt, perfectionism and overwhelm that can develop when you’ve spent years feeling like you’re not quite meeting your own expectations.

The goal is not to change who you are, but to help you work with your strengths, manage the areas you find challenging, and feel more capable and in control of your day-to-day life.

When you’re used to holding yourself to high standards, it can be difficult to know when “doing your best” has become pushing yourself too hard. Perfectionism can leave you feeling like nothing is ever quite good enough — even when you’re achieving things others would consider impressive.

Olivia helps clients understand the patterns behind perfectionism, including harsh self-criticism, fear of making mistakes, overthinking and the pressure to constantly achieve. Over time, these perfectionism patterns can become exhausting and contribute to burnout, leaving you feeling overwhelmed, depleted and unable to switch off.

Olivia works with clients to develop more flexible and sustainable ways of approaching achievement, challenge unhelpful thinking patterns and build a healthier relationship with their own expectations. The goal isn't to lower your standards or ambition, but to help you achieve without constantly running yourself into the ground.

Phobias can make everyday situations feel unexpectedly challenging, often leading to intense anxiety, avoidance, or a constant need to plan around the things you fear.

Olivia supports those experiencing a range of phobias, including emetophobia (fear of vomiting), blood-injury phobia, claustrophobia, and other specific fears.

She draws on practical, evidence-based approaches to help gradually face fear and avoidance, to help you live without phobia getting in the way.

University can be an exciting time, but it can also be where pressure, perfectionism and self-doubt begin to take hold. For high-achieving students, the transition to university can bring new expectations and uncertainty — and without the structure of school, it can be easy to feel like you should be doing more, achieving more or keeping up with everyone around you.

Olivia supports students who are navigating anxiety, perfectionism, social anxiety, self-doubt and the pressures of balancing study, relationships and life. She helps students develop practical skills to manage their time and responsibilities, cope with uncertainty, build confidence and find a healthier balance between achievement and wellbeing.

Olivia has a particular interest in supporting students experiencing social anxiety. She helps them understand the fears and self-doubt that can hold them back, so they can feel more comfortable connecting with others, trying new things and making the most of their university experience.

For some students, these patterns can follow them beyond university and into their working lives. Olivia’s goal is to help them develop the skills and self-understanding to manage pressure more sustainably — not just get through university, but build a foundation for the years ahead.
