About Olivia
AHPRA-registered psychologist with eight years' experience, Olivia Notter works with relationship issues, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes. She sees people who struggle with panic, post-traumatic stress, social anxiety and difficult transitions. Olivia practices from a perspective that pays attention to body and mind together.
Olivia trained to a doctoral level and holds a PhD in Psychology and a Masters in Clinical Psychology. Her clinical work has taken place in a variety of settings over eight years. She draws on several approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Jungian ideas and mindfulness-based practices.
In sessions she focuses on what appears in the moment and on bodily sensations. Olivia describes the body as carrying information that can help make sense of difficult feelings, especially after trauma. She uses somatic awareness alongside talking methods to help people notice and describe those sensations.
She also works with patterns such as abandonment fears, control issues, dissociation, guilt and shame, and difficulties with communication. Olivia helps people look beneath automatic self-judgement and understand parts of themselves that have felt hidden.
Olivia invites a collaborative approach. She helps people explore feelings, test new behavioural responses, and practice skills such as mindfulness and acceptance. Her work aims to make uncomfortable emotions easier to tolerate and to increase clarity about values and life purpose.

How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Olivia commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her work. ACT focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take small committed actions even when feelings are difficult. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and introduces practical experiments and skills to shift unhelpful patterns.She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas when relationships and attachment patterns are central. EFT-based work helps people identify core emotions, express them more clearly, and test new ways of relating to others and to themselves.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the collaboration. Olivia will discuss goals and preferences, try different strategies, and adapt the plan as progress and new material appear. Clients and therapist decide together what methods suit each stage of the work.
Confirm the current session formats before booking as the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, such as arranging a shorter check-in during a break or avoiding travel time. They also allow use of mindfulness practices, in-session exercises and talking work from wherever a person can be relatively undisturbed. Appropriately registered professionals can adapt these approaches to remote work while focusing on practical tasks and skills.
