Erick Oduor, BACP

Erick Oduor is a counsellor with 16 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. He works with people facing family conflict, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety and stress. Erick believes clients hold important strengths and personal knowledge about their own lives. He offers steady support as people take the first steps towards change.

Erick uses straightforward, collaborative conversations to help clients clarify their goals. He draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to tackle unhelpful thinking and build practical habits. Attachment-based ideas and emotionally-focused work shape how he looks at relationship and intimacy concerns.

Sessions often focus on everyday problems like parenting strain, career uncertainty, or coping with chronic illness and caregiver stress. Erick also addresses challenges connected to abandonment, codependency, communication problems, and recovery from domestic violence or substance misuse. He aims to make complex issues easier to talk about.

Clients can expect a calm, respectful space to sort through feelings and options. Erick invites people to notice their values and small actions that match them. Over time the work is aimed at reducing overwhelm and increasing confidence to handle life changes.

He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, sometimes abbreviated BACP. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.

Online approaches that focus on values and relationships

Erick commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside client-centred methods. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting pulled into them, while helping them act in ways that match their values; it can be useful for anxiety, stress and motivation issues. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns affect closeness and trust, and it can help with intimacy-related concerns and family conflict. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises being heard and respected, giving space for clients to lead the pace and topics of sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Erick will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what feels helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan if needed, so the work stays practical and relevant to everyday life.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session formats available before booking because they are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow quieter check-ins during a work break. Some formats use less bandwidth or do not require video, which can suit different needs, so it is worth checking what this therapist currently offers.
