About
Olivia Izzo is a UK-trained Psychotherapist (MSc) and Social Counsellor, specialising in child and adolescent mental health, neurodiversity, and creative therapies. She is currently practising at The Psychiatry & Therapy Centre in Dubai, where she provides tailored therapeutic support to children, adolescents, and suitable adults.
With extensive experience in the NHS (UK), CAMHS (Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services), private practice, and as the sole psychotherapist in an Autism and additional needs school, Olivia has developed a deep understanding of the challenges faced by neurodiverse individuals and their families. She has worked with verbal and non-verbal children and young adults aged 5 to 20, using a combination of talking and creative therapies—including art, play, music, and movement—to help them explore their emotions and develop effective communication strategies.
Throughout her career, Olivia has been recognised for her work in mental health advocacy and research. She was invited to speak about her practice in psychotherapy, contributed to a panel discussion introducing Roman Kemp’s BBC documentary ‘Our Silent Emergency’, and led creative therapy workshops at Tate Liverpool, a national gallery for British art. Additionally, she served as a Lead Mental Health Mentor for Everton Football Club’s ‘In the Community’ project, supporting young people at risk of mental health challenges.
Olivia’s expertise extends to a wide range of mental health conditions, including Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), ADHD, OCD, anxiety disorders, depression, personality disorders (including BPD), and attachment disorders. She is also trained in Inner Child Work, which helps individuals process emotions linked to childhood and adolescence, fostering self-esteem and self-acceptance.
Holding a Master’s degree in Psychotherapy and Counselling with Creative Approaches from the UK, Olivia is also a trauma-informed practitioner with PACE and holds an Inner Child Healing Diploma from the Centre of Excellence. She is licensed by the Community Development Authority and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
