Oliva Avis 

I feel supported and trusted by my advisor. I am happy to have someone to share my personal feelings with.

I have had an incredible experience with Oliva. Though I was initially matched with a therapist who wasn't quite the right fit for me, I later found Lin and could not have asked for a better therapist. I have never felt so comfortable, safe and listened to as I do with Lin. I have opened up to her about my life events in ways I never have to anyone before, all because she makes her sessions feel so safe and supportive. My mental health has massively improved since working with Lin, and quite frankly I will be gutted when our therapeutic journey comes to an end. It is impossible to fault my time working with Lin, I am so grateful for her.

review for Lin DeBarr

Oliva is my favourite work benefit, and I am happy to say I got matched with the perfect therapist for me on first try. Lin is undoubtedly professional and diligent, but also warm and friendly; she made me feel like our sessions were a safe place from day one. We went through all the parts of my life that have been causing me stress for a long, long time now, and wrapping up our last session today, I can confidently say my mental health is in a much better shape than before. Thank you, Lin, for your hard work, and thank you, Oliva, for making this possible.

After having a terrible experience with BetterHelp I thought I would give Oliva a go as my work included a few free sessions as a workplace benefit. I was matched with Lin DeBarr who has restored my faith in therapy and has been working with me through past trauma and resulting behaviours. As my work benefits are ending I am delighted to say this is a service I am happy to continue paying for as I feel Lin has helped be begin to make much needed progress towards my mental health and emotional well being. I can't praise her methods enough. She has been understanding an supportive of my reservations about opening up to a stranger and challenges my learned behaviours and thought patterns to create new and better ways of thinking about situations and dealing with past trauma.

I was sceptical about being matched with a therapist bas on what I've heard of other platforms.

Linn is very knowledgeable, and is always focused on the conversation we are having. I also like the AI chatbot.

Great coaches, easy use, additional helpful resources.

I love Oliva. I enjoy the flexibility of being able to access services when I want to and, because it's free I'm more likely to try something new - even if I don't get into it I've lost nothing. There's enough variety for most (if not all) people to find something they think is useful or enjoy. I feel like I've only scratched the surface of everything it has to offer!

such a fantastic service and allowed the time to talk

I am very happy with my sessions, is one of my favorite benefits and I am grateful for the opportunity

Oliva has been a massive support for my mental health, I really like working with my therapist and my professional coach too, they are both being very supportive.

I had a great experience with Oliva, very intuitive and user-friendly interface, great platform - but whats most important great coach-coachee mapping process that Oliva offers in the beginning, that led me to picking up the coach that felt just right for me - and it ended up being the great fit!

It has truly changed my perspective and how I react to triggering moments in my life. I was frustrated by minimal things that would ruin my entire day and was a constant ball of stress that couldnt remain present and couldn't enjoy much. I was so tough on myself. I was matched with Lin DeBarr and I could not have wished for a better person to help me.
She was patient, understanding and unjudgmental. She seemed to know exactly what i needed in each session and would never push or prod unless she knew it would help.
She found ways to test me without feeling pressured and would often use her own life lessons to help me with my own which allowed for a real human connection.
She made me feel comfortable to where i could then be vulnerable and heal. She recognises how she needs to be in order to help all. It's not a cookie cutter format of one size fits all.
A truly fantastic person who genuinely cares about the people she is helping.
"Stick it to the man!"

Really easy to book and schedule appointments. The app is personalised to you and provides three suggested people to connect with after submitting all of your preferences. The quality of services seems high, it's my first time using something like this but I've been very happy with what I've received.

My therapist Lynn was fantastic and has really helped me progress throughout our sessions together. I would thoroughly recommend her.

Oliva offer an amazing service, tailored and personalized to each individual using the platform. I'm so grateful to have this as a company benefit.

This app helps me a lot, it provides me a safe place to talk with a therapist whenever I need. The interface is very friendly and easy to use.

It took me a bit of experimenting to find the professional on Oliva who suits me best, but it was well worth it. This is one of my favourite perks in my company that helps me to perform better in all areas of my life

Oliva is simply life-changing. It is my favourite of the benefits that my employer provides. I have been using the platform for a year and a half and I am currently working with my 4th therapist. All 4 of them have/had various levels and areas of expertise and I have benefitted from each of them, but it is my current therapist that I have clicked with the most.

Her name is Lin DeBarr. She is especially adept at getting to the bottom of deeply buried issues and traumas. She helps you untangle your conflicted emotions and gently guides you toward healing that makes a brighter future seem attainable. You have to be committed and brave enough to confront yourself, your fears, your pain, and your darker impulses, but it is all worth it.

The platform is easy to use, and has an inviting and calming design and colour scheme. There is a plethora of content and information available for mental health and work coaching. Support is friendly and helpful and ready to assist you in finding the best match for your needs. The only thing that could potentially be improved is the response time/ availability, but rest assured they also have 24/7 crisis lines available if you do need help urgently.

I could not recommend Oliva more highly.

Excellent service, great platform to use with friendly and professional therapists on hand. Has really helped with my mental health and helped me managed it much better.

Incredibly easy to use platform that has helped me take the first steps into coaching.
