Connor O'Donnell is a BACP-registered therapist based in the United Kingdom.
About Connor
Connor O'Donnell is a BACP-registered therapist based in the United Kingdom. He brings three years of practice to sessions and focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression and major life changes. He works from a client-centred perspective.
That means he treats people as the experts on their own lives and aims to create space for them to talk things through at their own pace. He listens closely and checks in regularly to see what is helpful and what needs to change.
Background and approach
In sessions he will sometimes reflect back patterns or feelings he notices, and invite the person to say whether that feels right. Other times the person may point something out, and they will follow that thread together. This shared way of working helps people make sense of difficult emotions and situations.
Connor has experience with bereavement services and charities supporting carers, so he is familiar with loss and caring-related pressures. He also works with issues such as chronic illness, communication problems, control issues, dissociation, and the emotional effects of separation and divorce. People who value a calm, attentive listener and a gentle process of discovery may find this approach useful.
Connor aims to support individuals as they build coping strategies and find clearer ways to move forward.

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 that looks like regular check-ins, reflections on patterns or feelings that come up, and working together to notice what helps. The therapist and the person decide together which themes to follow and whether the way they are relating in the session is useful to explore.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Connor will discuss options with each person and adjust the way they work based on the person's needs, goals and preferences. This collaborative process means therapy can change as the person’s situation evolves.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed; live chat and messaging suit shorter updates, flexible timing and people who prefer writing. These options offer practical flexibility so therapy can fit around work, family and other commitments.
