Dr Olivia Buckeridge first began her training with a BSc in Psychology, before going on to complete an MSc in Applied Clinical Psychology at the University of Bath, and subsequently a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology at the University of East London. Her path has taken her through a range of NHS mental health services, where she has supported both adults and children experiencing a broad spectrum of psychological difficulties, which has shaped the way she now works with clients.
In the therapy room, Dr Buckeridge brings a warm and collaborative approach. She draws on training in cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), compassion focused therapy (CFT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), trauma-focused approaches, and integrative models, and has a particular interest in trauma and its impact on identity, relationships, and emotional wellbeing, but most importantly, she adapts what she does to fit the person in front of her.
Dr Buckeridge focuses on building strong, authentic therapeutic relationships and is skilled at helping both young people and adults feel at ease, creating a space where clients can engage openly and explore difficult experiences.
All clinicians at The Chelsea Psychology Clinic are trained to conduct comprehensive assessments, considering you as a whole person rather than a specific issue. They tailor treatment and integrate multiple therapeutic perspectives to create a plan that is both evidence-based and uniquely suited to you.
Dr Buckeridge works with individuals facing a wide range of challenges, including depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and emotional regulation difficulties, and has specialist experience in working with trauma and complex presentations, including post-traumatic stress and difficulties linked to early life experiences. Whatever someone is struggling with, Dr Buckeridge aims to offer support that recognises and respects their unique needs and experiences.
Alongside her therapy work, Dr Buckeridge is also involved in consultation, formulation, and multidisciplinary working within NHS services, reflecting her passion for collaborative, trauma-informed care.
