Oliva Reviews 262

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.

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!
