Erick Oduor is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 16 years of professional experience. He draws on approachable, practical methods to help people facing family strain, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, depression, stress and anxiety. Erick encourages people to see their own strengths and to take small, manageable steps toward change.

He believes each person knows their story best and works alongside them rather than directing the process.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to build confidence, increase motivation and find clearer ways to cope with tough feelings. Erick focuses on real-life strategies that can be used between meetings. Erick uses a mix of talking approaches that suit the situation.

This includes methods that explore patterns in relationships, ways to change unhelpful thoughts and actions, and approaches that emphasise values and acceptance. He also draws on emotionally-focused work to address connection and intimacy issues.

Over his career he has helped people with a wide range of concerns such as parenting stress, relationship and intimacy-related issues, anger, job and career worries, and adjusting to life changes. He also supports those coping with chronic illness, addiction issues, domestic violence, and breakdowns like divorce and separation. Erick is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

He offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. Practical session formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging.

How therapy approaches translate to online sessions

Erick uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on identifying personal values and taking committed action even when difficult thoughts and feelings are present. This approach can help people manage anxiety, depression and major life changes by clarifying what matters most and setting achievable steps.

He also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at patterns in close relationships and how early attachments shape current connection and communication. This work can be useful for intimacy-related issues, relationship difficulties and attachment concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Erick will discuss goals, try methods that fit the person’s needs, and adjust the direction together. The process is collaborative and paced to what feels manageable for the client.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversations and visual cues, phone sessions can be a simpler option with lower bandwidth, chat can work for short check-ins, and messaging suits people who prefer to write between meetings. These options offer flexibility for work schedules, caregiving duties and travel constraints, making it easier to keep regular contact with a therapist.
