Olivia Lang

Trauma-Informed Psychotherapist (MBACP)

About Me

I’m a Trauma-Informed Integrative Psychotherapist working in North and East London, as well as online. Therapy can be a daunting step – and it’s important to find the right person to support you. 

My approach is warm, supportive, and tailored to your individual needs, and is focused on creating a space where you feel safe to share whatever it is you wish to explore, free from judgement. 

How I work:

As a trauma-informed integrative therapist, I blend a number of different modalities, including: Psychodynamic, Somatic/Body Psychotherapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS). 

I work on the basis that experiences in our past influence our learned relational responses, establishing a ‘template’ for how we connect to ourselves, others, and the world. 

Therapy offers an opportunity to identify and investigate these responses, gaining awareness and self-understanding which then allows us to make informed, conscious decisions about our lives. 

I work with clients with a wide range of issues, including abuse, ADHD, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, life transitions, childhood emotional neglect, relationship difficulties, self-esteem, sexual abuse, stress and burnout, trauma, and workplace issues.

My speciality is developmental or complex trauma (CPTSD), and I draw on a knowledge of attachment theory and neurobiology to do this work. I incorporate somatic techniques as a way to release trauma in the body. 

Prior to working as a therapist, I worked in journalism and travelled widely as part of my job. I have a deep and genuine curiosity in the experiences of people from all backgrounds and cultures, and value difference and diversity. 

I offer a free introductory call to answer any questions you have, and to see if we’re the right fit. Please contact me via the email below.

Training and qualifications

I am a registered member of the British Association of Psychotherapists and Counselling (BACP). I hold a PG Dip Advanced in Humanistic and Integrative Counselling from CPPD Counselling School and a BA (Hons) in Politics from the University of Nottingham.
