Erick Oduor, BACP

Erick Oduor uses straightforward, person-centred ways of working to help people through hard times. He draws on 16 years of experience in the United Kingdom and aims to create a calm space where people can talk about what matters to them. Erick believes people know their own stories and brings practical support to help them move forward.

He often helps with family conflict and difficulties that follow trauma or abuse. He also supports people coping with grief and loss, low self-esteem, low motivation and confidence. Erick works with common mental health problems such as anxiety, depression and stress, and with life transitions like separation or career change.

His practice combines methods that focus on feelings, thoughts and relationships. He uses approaches that help people notice what matters to them, understand attachment and relationship patterns, and work on practical thinking skills. Sessions are conversational and aimed at building useful, everyday strategies.

Erick also supports people facing longer-term challenges such as chronic illness, caregiver stress, addiction concerns and compassion fatigue. He pays attention to how past experiences shape present reactions and helps people find better ways to respond. The emphasis is on small, realistic steps that fit each person’s life.

Clients can expect a respectful, non-judgemental tone. Erick encourages collaboration on goals and checks progress as therapy continues. He aims to empower people to make changes that feel sustainable and relevant to their circumstances.

Therapeutic approaches suited to online work

Erick commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in his online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then taking actions that match their personal values. This can help with anxiety, depression and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and reactions; it can be useful for relationship difficulties, intimacy-related worries and attachment issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Erick will discuss your goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit your situation. He aims to be collaborative and will adjust the plan as you learn what helps most during sessions.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a full conversational session and visual connection. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits your day. Live chat or messaging can work for brief updates, reflection between sessions or when written communication feels easier. These options offer flexibility to fit sessions around work, family or travel commitments.
