About Erick

Erick Oduor is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 16 years of professional experience. He works with people facing family conflict, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, depression, stress and anxiety. Erick also supports clients with relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting stresses, anger, career changes and compassion fatigue.

Erick begins by listening to the person’s story and identifying strengths they already have. He uses clear, practical conversation to help people recognise patterns that keep them stuck. Sessions look at day-to-day choices and small changes that build steadier boundaries and clearer priorities.

He draws on several well-known therapeutic methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps with unhelpful thinking and mood. Attachment-based approaches look at how early relationships shape current trust and closeness. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) can help people notice painful feelings without being driven by them.

For someone caught up in people-pleasing, living around another person’s moods, or struggling with codependency, Erick focuses on skills you can use between sessions. That includes communication techniques, boundary practice, and ways to manage stress and grief. He explains choices plainly and checks in about what is realistic to try next.

Sessions are straightforward and goal-focused while keeping the person’s own values in sight. Erick works with each person to set manageable steps, review progress, and adjust the plan as life changes.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions

Erick often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then choose actions that align with their values. ACT can be useful for stress, anxiety, low mood and patterns like people-pleasing.

Attachment-Based Therapy is another approach he draws on to understand how early relationships affect current trust, closeness and conflict. This work is practical and focuses on recognising relational patterns and trying different ways of relating in everyday life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Erick will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels workable. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is reviewed.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Many people choose online sessions because they fit around work, reduce travel, or allow shorter check-ins when time is tight. Erick aims to make sessions fit everyday life and to agree a pace and structure that match each person’s needs.
