About John
John Odutemu is a UK-based counsellor with 12 years of experience helping people facing low mood, anxiety and relationship strain. He offers steady, non-judgemental support for depression and related concerns. He aims to make the first steps feel manageable for someone who is worried or uncertain.
He adapts sessions to each person’s needs and preferences. Conversations are tailored rather than one-size-fits-all. Clients can expect practical strategies alongside space to talk about painful events and feelings.
Background and approach
John blends approaches that help with unhelpful thinking, emotional regulation and building values-led action. That can include looking at patterns in relationships and exploring how early attachment shapes current reactions. Therapy also covers practical problems like sleep, eating, work stress and coping with change.
He has experience supporting people with addiction, trauma and abuse, bipolar and emotional instability. He also helps with self-esteem, intimacy questions, grief and parenting concerns. Additional interests include attachment issues, adoption and foster care, aging and chronic illness.
Sessions are available in English and John accepts international clients. He works by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. The approach is collaborative - goals are set together and reviewed as therapy progresses.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss options and decide with the client what fits their goals and preferences. That collaborative process can change over time as needs evolve.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video is good for a full conversation, phone works well when bandwidth is low, and messaging suits brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options aim to make therapy easier to attend and to fit therapy into busy lives.
