Connor O'Donnell , BACP

Connor O'Donnell is a UK-based therapist who offers person-centred support to people coping with stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem difficulties, depression and significant life changes. He works from a person-centred perspective that treats each person as the expert on their own life, creating sessions that allow exploration at the client’s pace and in their own way. He holds a PGDip, a postgraduate diploma in therapeutic practice, and lists BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) among his credentials.

Connor has experience supporting people through bereavement and has worked with a carers’ charity, roles he found rewarding and instructive. He is comfortable addressing a wide range of concerns including relationship problems, loss, trauma, suicidal thoughts, self-harm, and the stresses that come with caring responsibilities. In sessions he pays attention to how the therapeutic relationship unfolds, noticing patterns, feelings, or shifts in conversation that may reflect how clients experience others in their lives.

Sessions with Connor are collaborative - sometimes he will offer an observation to see if it resonates, and other times clients will lead the direction of the work. He checks in regularly about what feels helpful and what may need to change, aiming to provide a steady, curious presence for people seeking to make sense of difficult experiences and find practical ways forward.

Person-Centred Care Delivered Online

Connor O'Donnell practices client-centred therapy, an approach that places the individual’s experience at the centre of the work. This method focuses on listening without judgment, reflecting what emerges in session, and supporting clients to explore their feelings and choices at their own pace. It is well suited to people navigating loss, anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns and major life transitions.

Within this person-centred frame Connor also emphasises the therapeutic relationship itself as a source of insight. By paying attention to how the client and therapist relate in session, moments of connection or misunderstanding can reveal patterns that matter in everyday life and guide where the work goes next. This collaborative stance helps clients and therapist together decide what feels most helpful.

Online therapy with Connor is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, giving practical flexibility for different needs and schedules. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, reduce travel time, and allow people to receive consistent support even when circumstances change. Licensed professionals can adapt the format to what works best for each person, aiming for effective, accessible care.
