About

  Hi, I’m Ollie, the founder of Mind Matters, and I believe that life’s challenges don’t have to be faced alone. Whether you’re navigating trauma, managing stress, or seeking personal growth, we all deserve a safe space to heal and grow. Mind Matters was created with this in mind—to provide support, guidance, and a compassionate approach to mental wellness.

My own journey into psychotherapy started with my personal experience of trauma. I’m one of the 1 in 3 people who develop PTSD after enduring severe trauma. It took me over two decades to seek help and understand why my mind felt different from others’. That difficult journey reshaped my life and ultimately inspired me to help others find their path to healing.

Before becoming a therapist, I spent many years in the Energy sector, working in project management and contracts. globally, in the office and on worksites. I understand the pressures and challenges of the modern world and corporate environments.   Yet, my passion for mental wellness always called to me, and I eventually pursued training in psychology, hypnotherapy, and mindfulness. During my 20+ years in the industry, I gained valuable insights into human behavior and decision-making. which has sharpened my analytical and strategic thinking, skills I apply in my therapeutic work.  Now, I use this knowledge and my own life experience to offer a holistic approach to mental health.

At Mind Matters, I offer personalized support for each client, and I’m here to help you explore your mental wellness journey, at your own pace. I bring a holistic approach to mental wellness, drawing on my personal experiences with PTSD, OCD, and my understanding of trauma’s effects. I offer online therapy services, including hypnotherapy, mindfulness, and counselling, so you can connect from the comfort of your own home. I know firsthand how daunting it can be to take the first step toward mental wellness, but I also know how transformative that step can be. I’m here to help guide you through it, with empathy and without judgment.

Mental health isn’t just about surviving difficult times—it’s about empowering yourself to thrive, to become the best version of who you are. Whether you’re dealing with chronic pain, overcoming phobias, transitioning through life’s changes, or just seeking greater peace of mind, therapy can be a powerful tool. My approach is individualized and client-centered; I treat each person with the care and attention they deserve. There’s no "one size fits all" here.

Through my service, Mind Matters, I offer more than just therapy—I offer support. Whether it’s through educational content, humour, or personal insight, I aim to make mental wellness accessible to everyone. I’ve been through my own struggles and come out the other side, which is why I’m so passionate about helping others find hope and healing too.

Ultimately, I believe mental health care should be stigma-free and accessible to all, and I strive to make Mind Matters a space where every individual feels empowered to explore their mental wellness journey. Whether you’re seeking support through hypnotherapy, mindfulness, or counselling, I’m here to help you move forward, at your own pace, toward healing and growth.

Let’s work together to build a stronger, healthier mindset. Remember—change starts with the mind.
