Rosalind Oliver LLB (Hons) MSc MBACP

Rosalind is an Integrative Humanistic counselling psychotherapist offering individual and couples therapy to adults aged 19–65, including LGBTQIA+ clients. Her practice focuses on depression, anxiety and stress, relationship difficulties, trauma (including childhood sexual abuse), disordered eating, and complex life transitions. She tailors treatment using a holistic, person-centred foundation that integrates humanistic, psychodynamic, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)-informed techniques.

Her therapeutic philosophy: true healing arises from aligning mind and body within the context of the whole person. Therapy is a collaborative process that honours each client’s lived experience, values, and goals, emphasising safety, empathy, and authentic presence. I help clients develop self-understanding, compassionate self-care, and practical strategies to navigate daily life and relationships.

Her practice is humanistic integrative, weaving experiential and relational interventions with evidence-based methods. She draws on psychodynamic insights to illuminate patterns and early experiences that shape current struggles, alongside CBT skills for emotion regulation, cognitive re-framing, and behavioural change. When appropriate, she incorporates brief, targeted interventions to reduce distress and promote resilience, including mindfulness and somatic awareness to ground clients in the here-and-now.

Rosalind works with professionals and creatives in demanding environments (notably the music/arts industry) who need an understanding ally to navigate performance pressure, burnout, and career transitions. She also supports clients dealing with trauma, attachment injuries, disordered eating, some addictions, and life-stage challenges. She is comfortable working with individuals and couples across diverse backgrounds and identities, and she actively welcomes work with clients from the LGBTQIA+ community.

Her professional credentials and affiliations: She is a licensed counselling psychotherapist, has a master’s in psychology, is trained in an integrative humanistic, psychodynamic, and cognitive-behavioural approaches, and is also trained in sex therapy and couples’ therapy. She is a registered member of BACP and NCPS. She is also a Music Industry Therapist Collaborative (MITC), Music Managers Forum (MMF) and the British Association of Performing Arts and Medicine (BAPAM). She offers therapy online and in person, adapting to the client’s needs and preferences.

Background and perspective: Rosalind spent 20 years in Germany, including a decade as an artist manager in the music industry. Her professional background also includes practising law and further experience in related fields. She served as a Practice Manager for a Private Psychiatric clinic in London. This gives her a multidisciplinary perspective on legal, managerial and healthcare-related challenges, with a practical understanding of the creative and therapeutic sectors, insight into high-pressure professional environments, team dynamics, and creative careers. She understands how industry demands, toxic work environment, burnout risks, and financial stress can affect mental health, and she brings that understanding into her clinical work with sensitivity and practical relevance.
