About Olivia
Olivia Notter is an AHPRA-registered psychologist who focuses on helping people find steady footing through relationship problems, trauma, low self-worth and life changes. She speaks plainly and aims to help people feel seen and heard in sessions. Her style is grounded and curious, with attention to what shows up in the body as well as the mind.
Olivia trained to doctoral level and holds a PhD in Psychology plus a Master of Clinical Psychology.
Background and approach
Across eight years of clinical work she has supported people facing sexual and other forms of abuse, anxiety, depression and the fallout from major transitions. Her background includes diverse clinical settings and a blend of therapeutic approaches. Her practice draws on Jungian ideas about inner parts and symbols while using practical tools from acceptance and commitment therapy and cognitive behavioural methods.
She often invites mindfulness and somatic attention to bodily sensations as a way into difficult memories and feelings. Sessions are collaborative and paced to the person’s needs. Olivia helps people notice patterns such as abandonment fears, communication problems, control issues and dissociation.
She also works with shame, guilt, panic and social anxiety and supports exploration of life purpose and self-love. Her approach aims to reduce the hold of painful past experiences so people can make clearer choices now. If the way she works resonates, the next step is a short conversation to see if there is a good fit.
Olivia treats each meeting as a chance to gently uncover what a person already knows about themselves and to build practical ways forward.

Online support
Approach and online therapy options
Olivia uses a mix of Jungian Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in her work. Jungian Therapy pays attention to inner parts, symbols and personal stories to help people make sense of recurring patterns and life themes. ACT focuses on values-based action and learning to sit with difficult thoughts and feelings while moving toward what matters. She also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to help people test unhelpful thinking and try small behavioural changes.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Olivia will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what feels manageable. Together they decide which combination of ideas and exercises will best support short-term coping and longer-term change.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone can be a simpler low-bandwidth option, and messaging suits shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, study or family life and to keep regular contact between sessions when helpful.
