About Connor
Connor O'Donnell is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with a Postgraduate Diploma and three years of practice. He meets people where they are and offers calm, attentive sessions. He often works with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes.
He uses a person-centred approach, also called Client-Centred Therapy, which treats the client as the expert on their own life. Sessions are conversational and paced to the individual's comfort.
Background and approach
Connor listens for patterns, feelings and shifts that might be helpful to notice together. When appropriate he reflects observations back and invites the client to decide if they feel meaningful. The therapist pays attention to how people relate in the room, since those interactions can mirror everyday relationships.
Misunderstandings are explored rather than avoided. Connor has experience working with a bereavement service and a charity supporting carers, which shaped his understanding of loss and caregiving stress. He also supports people facing long-term illness, communication difficulties, and change after separation.
He checks in regularly about progress and how the sessions are going, adjusting the way they work when needed. The aim is steady, collaborative exploration so people can make sense of things at their own pace. Sessions are offered in English and are delivered remotely by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Connor does not accept international clients.

Approaches Connor lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
In practice, sessions are conversational and reflective. The counsellor notices patterns and how people relate in the room, then checks in about whether those observations feel useful. Together they decide what to focus on and whether to try different ways of working, so finding the right approach is a collaborative process.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation without travel. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or fit around work breaks when video is not needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow ongoing contact and quicker check-ins when typing feels easier than speaking. These options help people access consistent care while keeping sessions adaptable to daily life.
