John Odutemu offers calm, straightforward support for people facing worry, low mood, relationship strain, or the fallout of trauma. He presents a steady presence and helps clients name what feels hard, set small goals, and try practical strategies that can ease day-to-day life. He has 12 years of professional experience and is registered with the Health and Care Professions Council - HCPC.

John adapts sessions to each person, using conversational, problem-focused work alongside skills practice when that fits.

Background and approach

He aims to make therapy feel useful from the first few meetings. In sessions John will listen carefully, reflect back what he hears, and invite you to identify changes you want to make. He draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and attachment-informed work to help with thoughts, feelings, and difficult patterns in relationships.

This means practical tools and clearer ways to understand recurring problems. John has worked with a wide range of issues across mood, anxiety, stress, addictions, grief, and identity concerns. He also supports people dealing with parenting strain, sleep or eating problems, chronic health challenges, and career stress.

He will tailor the focus to the problem you bring in and the goals you set together. Sessions are offered in English and John accepts international clients. He encourages people to take the first step and complete the brief online matching questionnaire to get started.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

John commonly uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses, which can reduce anxiety and low mood. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is another approach he draws on; it focuses on noticing difficult feelings, clarifying values, and taking small actions that matter. Attachment-based ideas help make sense of patterns in close relationships and guide changes to improve connection and trust.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. John collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit best, based on the issues they bring and their goals. He will check in and adjust the plan as the work progresses so sessions stay useful and relevant.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls suit fuller conversations and practice of interpersonal work, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can fit quick check-ins or when writing feels more comfortable. These options make it simpler to keep appointments around work, family and travel commitments while still getting consistent therapeutic support.
