About Connor
Connor O'Donnell is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years' experience. He works with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression and major life changes. Connor also lists additional focus areas such as caregiver stress, chronic illness and issues around guilt and shame.
He describes his work as person-centred, which means he treats the person in the room as the expert on their life. Sessions are a place to talk through what's happening at a pace that feels right. Connor aims to notice patterns in the conversation and name them when helpful.
Sometimes he points out something he observes, and sometimes clients bring things up first. They then consider together whether that observation matters and what it might mean for the next steps. He pays attention to how people relate in the session, since those moments can reflect wider relationship patterns.
Connor has worked with a bereavement service and a charity supporting carers, experiences he found valuable. He checks in regularly during the work to see what helps and what needs changing. This keeps the sessions practical and grounded in the client's needs.
He encourages people who are new to therapy to read brief explanations of different approaches so they can make an informed choice. In sessions he stays curious and focused on helping clients make sense of difficult feelings without rushing them.
How Connor's person-centred approach works online
Connor offers counselling from a person-centred perspective, which means he treats the client as the expert on their own life. Online sessions focusing on this approach involve the therapist listening closely, reflecting what he hears, and following the client's lead to decide what to explore next. This can help with feelings of guilt, shame, grief or major life changes.Person-centred work often notices how people are with each other in the session. Online conversations can reveal similar interaction patterns to in-person work, such as how someone reacts to being noticed or misunderstood. The therapist will point out patterns when they seem meaningful and then check in to see if the client agrees and wants to consider them further.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Connor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then adjust the way they work together. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed plan, and he checks in regularly to see what helps.

Online therapy can make fitting sessions into daily life easier, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins, or offering quieter surroundings that suit the client. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use online work to make sessions more practical for everyday schedules.
