Help save my Olive tree

I’ve had this little olive tree for a couple of years. Admittedly, last winter I forgot about it for a long time. It lives at my front door step under a shelter and is relatively protected from the elements. However, I neglectfully starved it of water for a good few months.
I took some advice from various online pages and pruned it “hard” to try and encourage it back to a good condition. Maybe the wrong thing?
In the last couple of months I’ve re-potted in a larger pot, kept watering well (loads of water until it runs out the bottom) but only the once the soil seemed to try out, and I’ve even given it a couple of doses of olive feed.

If I scratch the bark, it’s actually still vivid green underneath - so still alive! Therefore I can’t throw it out, I need to revive it.
Any tips very welcome.
