About Kevin
Kevin O'Donnell is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. He works in English and has three years of professional experience, and he accepts clients from other countries.
Kevin aims for straightforward and respectful conversations. He listens first, then tailors the dialogue and plan to each person’s needs. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than jargon.
Background and approach
He draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address trauma, addictive behaviours and mood difficulties. That work can include learning new coping skills, noticing unhelpful patterns, and building small, manageable goals. Kevin describes his style as compassionate and sensitive.
He encourages people to set the pace they feel comfortable with. The goal is to help clients feel more confident and able to make changes in daily life. Practically, sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.
Costs vary with location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online care
Evidence-based techniques are used to help with trauma, addictions and mood concerns. One approach focuses on stabilisation and coping skills - teaching breathing, grounding and step-by-step routines to reduce immediate distress and manage strong feelings. Another common approach targets patterns of thinking and behaviour - helping people spot unhelpful thoughts, test them, and try different ways of responding to daily problems.Finding the right method is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, needs and preferences, and then choose or adapt approaches together. This means the plan can change as progress is made or new issues emerge.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let people see and hear their counsellor for a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can suit those who prefer not to be on camera or who need lower bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or when writing helps someone express themselves. These options give flexibility while keeping the focus on practical steps and steady progress.
