Erick Oduor , BACP

Erick Oduor is a counsellor who uses practical, person-focused approaches to help people facing family conflict, trauma, grief and low self-esteem. He is a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy registered counsellor and brings 16 years of experience to sessions.

He works in a way that centres the person's story and strengths. Erick treats people as the experts on their lives and helps them to notice what already helps, while building new ways to cope and move forward. The first steps are simple conversations about what matters most and what change might look like.

Erick draws on several approaches to suit different needs. He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people live by their values even when emotions are hard. He uses attachment-based ideas and emotionally focused work to make sense of close relationships and intimacy struggles.

In practical terms he often blends cognitive behavioural techniques with client-centred listening. That means swapping stuck habits for small, doable changes while keeping the person understood and heard. He aims for clear, achievable steps rather than complicated jargon.

People commonly come to Erick with depression, anxiety, stress, parenting strain, anger, relationship problems or the fallout from loss and abuse. He also supports those dealing with chronic illness, caregiving stress, addiction and career-related pressures.

Sessions are offered in English and he works with people across the United Kingdom and beyond. Erick invites people to begin with a short conversation to see if his style fits the problem at hand.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take steps towards those values even when feelings are strong. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress and for people who feel stuck in avoidance. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how early connections shape trust and intimacy. This approach can help with relationship difficulties, abandonment fears and attachment issues.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Erick will listen to the person's goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try first. That may mean starting with value-based ACT work, then adding attachment or cognitive strategies as needs become clearer.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and non-verbal checking in, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to be on camera, and live chat or text messaging can fit short check-ins or busy schedules. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and travel while working with registered or accredited professionals.
