About Olivia
Olivia Notter is an AHPRA-registered clinician with eight years of professional experience. She works with people facing relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and major life changes. Olivia also focuses on concerns such as abandonment, communication problems, dissociation, loneliness and questions about life purpose.
Olivia describes her way of working as attentive to body and mind. She pays attention to physical sensations as well as thoughts and emotions. When strong feelings or memories appear in the body, she helps people notice them and gently name what is happening.
Her clinical background includes a PhD in Psychology and a Masters in Clinical Psychology, and these inform how she blends talking with somatic awareness. Sessions often involve noticing reactions in the moment, naming patterns, and trying practical steps to reduce distress. She uses evidence-based methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside relational work.
People who feel stuck after changes in work, relationships or health may find Olivia useful for sorting through what matters next. She aims to help clients recognise self-judgement and uncover beliefs that keep them stuck, without promising specific outcomes. The work is collaborative and paced to the person’s needs.
Olivia offers sessions in English and practises in Australia. If the way she describes her approach resonates, prospective clients are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to see if she is the right fit.
How her therapeutic approaches translate online
Olivia draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy in ways that suit online work. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that align with personal values, which can help with decisions about work, relationships and life purpose. EFT concentrates on emotions in relationships and the patterns that keep people feeling stuck, which supports work on connection and communication.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Olivia will work with clients to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative decision is revisited as needs change during therapy.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. For people exploring next steps after major life changes, working with an appropriately registered clinician online can make scheduling and continuity simpler while focusing on body awareness, thought patterns and relationship concerns.
