You are not alone

More people arrive here feeling like you do than you'd ever imagine.

Whatever it is, you are not alone, and you are not broken.

Anxiety. Grief. Feeling completely stuck. Old habits that won't shift. We've helped hundreds of people through all of it, and we can help you too.

Welcome to OLIP Therapy Since 2003
1

You feel stuck

Anxiety, low mood, a relationship that is straining. You were not meant to live life on repeat, and you do not have to carry it alone.

2

You take one small step

A free, no-pressure consultation. A relaxed chat, a chance to be heard, with no obligation to go further.

3

We match you to the right person

No guesswork, no being passed around. You are paired with the therapist who specialises in exactly what you are facing.

4

We do the work, together

Counselling, hypnotherapy, EMDR, CBT, or a blend. The method changes, the thread stays the same.

5

You feel like yourself again

Calmer, more in control, more like you. The promise we opened with, now kept.

Finding your fit

Which therapy is right for you?

Counselling, CBT, hypnotherapy or EMDR? Here is the honest answer: you do not have to work this out on your own. But here is how to think about it.

Counselling

A space to talk and make sense of what you are feeling, at your pace, with no fixed agenda. Best if you mainly need to be heard and understood, or you are working through loss, stress, or a difficult decision.

CBT

Practical and structured, focused on changing the thought and behaviour patterns that keep you stuck. Best if you want clear tools and a plan you can use straight away, often for anxiety, low mood, or OCD.

Hypnotherapy

Works with the subconscious through deep relaxation, where habits and deep-rooted beliefs actually live. Best if something feels automatic or stubborn, like a fear, a habit, or low confidence that will not shift with willpower alone.

EMDR

Helps the brain process distressing memories so they lose their grip on you. Best if something from the past still affects you now, whether a single bad event or memories that keep returning.

Still not sure? That is our job, not yours

You do not have to pick correctly. That is exactly what the free consultation is for. We listen, then match you to the right approach, and often the answer is a blend of more than one.

Questions, answered

Frequently asked questions

Everything you might be wondering before you reach out. Still unsure? The free consultation is the easiest place to start.

How do I get started?

The first step is a free, no-pressure consultation. It is a relaxed and confidential chat where you can talk about what is going on, ask anything, and see if we are the right fit. There is no obligation to book further sessions. You can book a time online or call us free on 0800 970 4776.

Which therapy is right for me?

You do not have to work this out on your own. We offer counselling, CBT, hypnotherapy and EMDR, and often the right answer is a blend of more than one. During your free consultation we listen to what you are facing, then match you to the right approach and the right therapist.

How much do sessions cost?

Your initial consultation is free and without obligation. Session fees vary depending on the type of therapy and whether you meet online or in person. You can see full details on our pricing page, and we will always be clear about costs before you commit to anything.

Do you offer online sessions?

Yes. We have offered online therapy since 2012 and many clients prefer it. You can have your sessions from anywhere in the UK or the wider world, at times that suit you, with the same quality of care as meeting in person.

How many sessions will I need?

It depends on what you are working through. Some issues respond in just a few sessions, while deeper or longer-standing difficulties may take a little longer. We will talk this through honestly at your consultation, so you have a realistic idea from the start.

Is everything confidential?

Yes. Your privacy is completely protected. What you share with your therapist stays between you and them, within the usual professional and legal boundaries that we will explain clearly from the outset.

Where are you based?

We are based at Arena Offices, Lancaster Court, 8 Barnes Wallis Road, Fareham, PO15 5TU. We see clients in person across Hampshire, and online anywhere in the UK.

How quickly can I be seen?

We usually have same-week availability. The sooner you reach out, the sooner we can match you with the right therapist and get you started.
