Oli Harley - Psychotherapist & Coach

Navigating through the early stages of adulthood for teenagers or young people can be difficult. Oli has been working with children, teens and young adults for several years and works with a range of mental health conditions such as anxiety or low mood.

Oli Harley is a kind and emotionally intelligent, Psychotherapist, coach and mentor for young people. He was inspired to take on mentoring after he believed the support system at his school was insufficient. He went on to train as a coach and later as a Psychotherapist. Oli believes that many young people are left in the dark on the social issues impacting their life such as self-esteem, relationships or the overwhelming pressure of exams and grades.

Being neurodivergent himself, Oli fully understands the daily spectrum of challenges and has faced such issues personally. Whilst he works with all young people, he has specialised in working with Autism (ASD) and ADHD.

Oli primarily works with teenagers and young people aged 13 to 24, and he also welcomes older autistic adults who are looking for life skills support — whether that’s with social skills, online safety, emotional regulation, or building greater independence.

Oli is a member of the British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP). He is also endorsed by the Institute of Leading and Management in Effective Life Coaching, and is a member of the Association of Coaching.

He can support you with issues such as:

- Anxiety and stress
- Friendships
- Improving Your Lifestyle
- Low Self-Esteem
- Relationships

- Social Media pressures (including online safety and scamming)

- Communication Skills

The 1-2-1 sessions are online or in-person and last approximately 50 minutes.

Here's what previous clients of Oli's have said:

“Oli has made me more aware of how to be safe online and protect myself from things like scammers. He also teaches me how to be better in conversations, how to express myself and let other people know how I feel. He makes learning things more fun, by using presentations that include images of animated characters that I enjoy. He is really helpful, friendly and very good at listening.” Client, Hertfordshire

“Oli has been coaching our son and has been absolutely brilliant. He very quickly established a good, trusting relationship and can take complex ideas and break them down into bite-sized chunks, using great visual content. He has been very creative in engaging with our son’s interests, to ensure that the content he is teaching is personalised, motivating and memorable. Online safety across social media is a topic we parents are not confident about, so we can’t thank Oli enough for boosting our son’s skills in a period of such rapid change. And making it fun!” Parent of client, St Albans.
