About Connor

Connor O'Donnell is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with a Postgraduate Diploma and three years' experience. He works from a person-centred perspective and aims to create a calm space where people can talk through what matters to them. Sessions are straightforward and paced to the individual, whether someone comes with a clear problem or is unsure where to begin.

He commonly helps people with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression.

Background and approach

He also supports those coping with major life changes and helps people process difficult losses. His background includes work with a bereavement service and a charity supporting carers, which shaped his practical approach to listening and support. Connor focuses on following the person's lead in sessions.

He listens for patterns, feelings and shifts in the conversation and points them out when it might be useful. He invites clients to reflect on what feels important, and to decide together what to explore next. He pays attention to how people and he relate during sessions, because interactions in the room can reflect everyday relationships.

When misunderstandings arise, he treats them as material to understand rather than problems to avoid. Regular check-ins help decide if the way of working should change. People can expect a steady, curious presence in sessions and practical conversation rather than technical jargon.

Connor aims to help each person make sense of their situation at their own pace while offering careful, respectful attention.

Ways of working Connor names

Client-Centred Therapy

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Person-centred work online and how it helps

Connor practices person-centred therapy, which means sessions focus on the person's experience and pace. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said and follows the client's lead to help them make sense of feelings such as grief, anxiety or low self-esteem. This approach suits people who want to be heard and to set their own agenda for change.

In session the counsellor may notice patterns in feelings or how someone relates and gently point them out so they can be explored together. That shared noticing helps with issues like coping with life changes, caregiving strain or chronic illness. The emphasis is on collaboration - the therapist and client decide together what to focus on and adjust how they work as needed.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for brief check-ins, and messaging or live chat can fit into a busy day or be useful when someone prefers writing. These options make counselling more flexible and help people fit sessions around work, caring duties or mobility limits.
