About Connor
Connor O'Donnell is a BACP-registered counsellor working in the United Kingdom. He draws on a person-centred approach and aims to provide a steady, respectful space where people can talk through what matters to them. Connor presents himself as someone who listens, notices patterns in conversation, and checks in regularly to see what is helpful during sessions.
He has three years of experience and has worked with a bereavement service and a charity supporting carers. That background informs his work with grief, caregiving strain and related issues. He also supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem difficulties and major life changes.
Connor practises from a client-centred perspective, which means he treats the person in front of him as the expert on their own life. Sessions are collaborative and paced to the individual. He may reflect something he has noticed in the conversation and invite exploration of whether it feels meaningful to the client.
In the room he pays attention to how people relate in the session itself, since that often mirrors relationships outside therapy. He expects that misunderstandings can happen and uses them as material to understand patterns of interaction. He also checks in regularly about what is working and what needs to change.
People come to him with both specific concerns and general uncertainty about where to begin. Connor aims to help clients make sense of their experience and find a way forward at their own pace.
How person-centred work translates online
Connor practises a person-centred approach that places the client’s perspective at the centre of the work. This approach emphasises listening, empathy and following what feels relevant to the person, which can help with issues like anxiety, depression, grief and changes in life circumstances.In sessions he pays attention to patterns that appear in conversation and how people respond in the therapeutic relationship. Noticing these patterns together can make it easier to see recurring ways of relating and to try out different responses in a supported way.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Connor works collaboratively to decide what feels most helpful based on a person’s goals, needs and preferences. He checks in regularly and adjusts the way of working if something is not helpful.
