Oliver North | MBACP Registered Psychotherapist
A thoughtful, clinical space for deep therapeutic exploration.
Providing trauma-informed support for adults navigating anxiety, depression, complex trauma, stress, relational patterns and more.
I'm Olly ...
Who you were then, is who you you are now.
You might find yourself constantly scanning for what could go wrong next, unable to fully switch off, always feeling like you've done something wrong, or feeling a persistent sense of dread even when everything on the surface is fine.
This could be the physical legacy of chronic stress, anxiety, trauma, past relationships, or unresolved experiences alerting you to notice it (and work on it!).
My practice, ON Psych, is about reading and interpreting those alerts, and bringing whatever the underlying causes are to the surface in order to resolve them.
Working together as co-explorers across the timeline of your life, the work is about understanding that story and finding that person again, because: who you were then, is who you are now.
Whether we meet online or face-to-face in Altrincham, or Sandbach, come as you are, and I'll meet you there.

an integrative framework
No single therapeutic model can capture the rich complexity of a human life. My approach is intentionally integrative, combining distinct psychological frameworks to match your unique history, your view of the world and your needs.
You don't need a history of severe trauma to benefit from this work. Whether you're navigating a difficult developmental transition, struggling with relationship patterns, or simply seeking to understand the quiet undercurrents of your mind, this space is designed to meet you exactly where you are.
Olly is a good guy.

the safe
foundation
Person-centred principles form the bedrock of my practice. By offering consistent warmth, safety, and unconditional acceptance, your mind and body can safely drop their everyday defences.
beneath
the surface
Attachment and psycho-dynamic theories allow us to look beneath the surface. We explore early relational blueprints and internalised expectations to understand how your history is active in your present.
the context of
your life
Body: We are deeply shaped by the spaces we inhabit. This perspective explores how the unspoken pressures of your environment, workplace, family dynamics, and cultural expectations compound your distress.
active
alignment
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and creative Gestalt techniques provide practical tools to identify active cycles, manage somatic stress, and restore real-time regulation to your nervous system.
