About Erick
Erick Oduor is a counsellor accredited by the BACP with 16 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. He works with adults on family matters, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, depression, stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, and parenting pressures. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than jargon or lengthy theory.
Erick treats conversations as a collaborative effort. He listens to each person's account and helps them identify strengths they already have. That might mean looking at patterns in relationships, building small practices to manage stress, or working through painful experiences from the past.
His background includes sustained work with people facing loss, complex family dynamics and the aftermath of abuse. He uses a mix of approaches to help people who feel stuck or overwhelmed. Practical tools and straightforward discussion feature prominently in his work.
People often bring issues like communication problems, codependency, difficulty trusting after abandonment, or the strain of caregiving. Erick pays attention to how these themes affect daily life, such as work, parenting, or intimate connections, and concentrates on changes that can be tried between sessions.
He uses methods drawn from acceptance and commitment approaches, attachment-focused thinking, client-centred practice, cognitive behavioural techniques and emotionally focused ideas. He encourages clients to set manageable goals and to test small changes. To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and then book a first session to agree next steps.
How sessions work
How Erick uses therapeutic approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice painful thoughts without getting tied to them and to take actions that reflect their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and difficulties making decisions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns affect trust and closeness; it helps with recurring conflict, intimacy-related concerns and family patterns. Finding which approach fits is part of the work. Erick treats this as a collaborative process and will discuss which methods seem helpful based on your goals and daily realities. He will try ideas, review how they work, and shift direction if something does not fit. Confirm the exact session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings around work, caring responsibilities or travel, and they can reduce time spent on commuting. Some formats also allow shorter check-ins when needed, or sessions without video if that helps maintain focus or uses less bandwidth. Registered or accredited professionals will work with you to shape the timing and frequency so sessions fit into everyday life.Areas of focus
