Oliva Arvostelua 

I have been navigating a difficult time with recent family bereavements. I used the Oliva benefit to arrange a couple of sessions with a coach. I didn't know what to expect but found it to be a wonderful experience. The coach was so kind and patient, fully engaged and listened to me. She gave suggestions on next steps and how to manage this process. Our second session was just as good and we could see the difference the first session had made to me. Some further techniques were shared and I feel confident managing this personal journey now.

I was connected with Lin DeBarr for six therapy sessions and found it very helpful indeed. I have been struggling a lot with depression and anxiety and really felt cared for and helped by our sessions. I found the Oliva platform easy to use and a really nice work perk. My only frustration is that I could only access six sessions per year! It would be nice to be able to check-in on a less frequent basis

Oliva is one of my favourite perks at work. I've been through a lot last year, personally and using Oliva has helped me to keep going, not only personally but also to have the strength to keep pushing at work.

My experience with Oliva has been fantastic. I was lucky enough to be matched manually with Lin who has made such a difference to my life. Lin helped me to get a handle on my OCD and get a more thorough understanding of the condition, its effect on me, and how my brain works. For me, therapy is a continuous thing. I don't believe one set of sessions is sometimes enough to work through something as complex and constant as OCD - and Lin was happy to keep working with me when I felt we still had more to work on. I'm looking forward to having sessions again in the future - she really did change my life.

Receiving coaching through the Oliva app has been transformational for me. I have been so nervous to get into this kind of self-work but the coach I see has made it so easy and comfortable and safe. Being online has helped even more so as I don't have to travel and can fit it into my work day.

Great app, supporting and knowledgable coaches

I can’t recommend Lin highly enough. She is incredibly empathetic and understanding, and from the very first session I felt genuinely heard. She really takes the time to listen without judgement, creating a safe and supportive space to talk openly.

Simply being able to talk things through with her made a huge difference, but what I particularly valued was the practical tools she gave me to manage anxiety. They were clear, helpful and easy to apply in everyday life.

If you’re looking for a counsellor who truly listens and offers both compassion and practical support, Lin is exceptional.

Oliva is so easy to use, and I am talking with a therapist who is wonderful.

Oliva has helped me feel more at peace with myself and understand myself better than I ever thought possible. My therapist, Lin DeBarr has provided me with a safe, warm and welcoming environment, so much so that I actually look forward to therapy! Lin helps to guide me towards understanding why I think and feel the way that I do, whilst also providing connection and laughter to ensure that I feel comfortable and understood. I cannot recommend both Lin DeBarr and Oliva enough.

I’ve been using Oliva through work, and it’s been genuinely helpful. The sessions feel supportive, and I like that they have professionals who work in a bunch of different language.
It’s easy to book sessions and the app is well done.

I heard of Oliva a few years back and all I could remember thinking is I wish my company provided this as a benefit as it seemed great. This was eventually offered at my last job and I've enjoyed watching all the videos on the platform. In addition, Oliva has a great choice of counsellors/coaches to choose from tailored to individual needs. The only thing I would say is that the website/app could be a bit more user friendly/nicer, but overall, an amazing platform.

the professionals support me towards my professional and personal goal

I honestly can’t say enough good things about Lin, She’s helped me through some of the hardest moments of my life, from the grief of losing my mother to relationship and friendship challenges, and just generally navigating the ups and downs of life.

She knows exactly when to listen and when to challenge me, and I feel like I’ve grown so much as a person because of our sessions together.

The Oliva platform itself has also been fantastic. It’s really easy to use and feels like such a safe, welcoming space. The customer service and chat support are brilliant, quick, kind, and genuinely helpful every time I’ve reached out.

I also really love the app features, especially the sleep audios and meditations. On nights when I struggle to fall asleep, I’ll listen to one of those, and they honestly make such a difference.

All in all, five out of five, both Lin and Oliva have been absolute game-changers for me.

I was matched with Lin DeBarr and honestly she is great, she listens, she helps me understand things from different perspectives. The sessions are very insightful.

After having a really tough series of events, my mental health saw a huge decline. Thankfully through my work I managed to get some free sessions on Oliva. They matched me with Lin DeBarr and it was a match made in heaven! I previously had therapy through the NHS but through my few sessions with Lin, I have improved tenfold compared to before. I will be so sad when our sessions are over and our little weekly cat catchups end

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

Oliva is very useful and easy to use.
The customer support, each time I needed help it was easy to reach and they helped immediately.
you can have a personal therapist or choosing other options. I recommend

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.
