Connor O'Donnell is a UK-based counsellor who brings three years of practice to sessions. He holds BACP accreditation and offers a steady, listening presence for people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression and major life changes. Connor aims to make the room feel straightforward and humane so people can talk at their own pace.

He works from a person-centred approach, which means he treats clients as the experts on their own lives.

Background and approach

Sessions centre on understanding what matters to the individual and following the topics that feel most important in the moment. Connor will sometimes reflect observations back to the client to see if they feel meaningful. Connor has experience supporting people through bereavement and with caring responsibilities, having worked with a bereavement service and a carers' charity.

He is familiar with long-term health concerns, ageing and issues around cancer and caregiving stress. He also supports people dealing with dissociation, communication problems, control issues and the emotional fallout of separation. In practical terms sessions can be video calls, phone conversations, live chat or text-based messaging.

Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time and the cost varies with location and therapist availability. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are not currently accepted. Connor aims to check in regularly about how the work is going, and to adjust the way he works if something is not helpful.

To begin, users follow the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

Person-centred care and online therapy options

Connor works mainly from a person-centred approach. This focuses on listening carefully and following what the client brings to the session. It helps when someone needs to make sense of grief, stress, low self-esteem or major life changes by exploring those experiences at their own pace.

The therapist will notice what happens in the conversation and sometimes offer reflections back to help highlight patterns or emotions. That shared exploration helps clients decide what feels useful and what should change. Finding the right approach is part of the work and will be decided together based on the client’s goals and preferences.

Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and reading non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer to write, want ongoing check-ins, or need more flexible timing. These options aim to make therapy more accessible around work, caring duties and daily life.
