Olivia LAMB

Background

Olivia is a Provisional Psychologist who holds a Master of Professional Psychology from the Cairnmillar Institute. Before pursuing a career in psychology, she worked across several industries, gaining valuable professional and life experience. This diverse background has contributed to her understanding of the different circumstances, challenges and perspectives that shape people's lives.

Olivia is passionate about helping people feel understood, valued and empowered. She recognises that everyone brings unique experiences and needs to therapy and takes a collaborative, person-centred approach. She works alongside clients to identify their concerns, develop practical strategies and achieve meaningful personal goals.

Olivia draws on evidence-based therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). She also incorporates mindfulness, relaxation and psychoeducation to help clients manage emotional difficulties, develop coping skills and improve their overall wellbeing.

Olivia has experience working with young people and adults across clinical and educational settings. She has also volunteered with a counselling helpline, supporting individuals affected by family violence. These experiences have strengthened her commitment to providing a warm, compassionate and non-judgemental environment where clients feel comfortable discussing their concerns.

Her areas of interest include anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, adjustment to life changes and personal development. She particularly enjoys helping clients develop greater self-awareness, better understand their relationships and work towards positive, meaningful changes in their lives.

Olivia welcomes clients from diverse cultural backgrounds, genders, sexual orientations and neurodiverse identities. She provides psychological support to adolescents aged 13 and over and adults.
