About Otis

Otis Carey is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, anger and depression. He also supports people working through trauma and abuse, grief, sleep problems, parenting strain and self-esteem concerns. Otis brings 12 years of professional experience and a BACP credential to his practice.

He works from the view that each person knows their own story best. Sessions focus on practical steps that fit into everyday life, and on finding strengths the client already has. Otis aims to make the first step feel manageable, not overwhelming.

In appointments he listens for patterns that keep problems repeating. He helps people spot what they can change and what they might need time to accept. Conversations are direct but kind, with an eye on useful, realistic goals.

Otis has worked with issues such as abandonment, codependency and communication problems, and with people navigating separation or blended family challenges. He also has experience with personality-related concerns, dissociation and co-morbid mental health difficulties.

Clients can expect straightforward explanations of suggested approaches and a shared plan for moving forward. He supports people through life changes, coping skills practice and relapse prevention when addictions are involved.

Sessions are delivered in English and Otis is able to work with international clients. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details to suit their needs.

Therapeutic approaches and online working

Otis uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on how people cope day to day and on clear problem-solving. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, and then test small changes to see what helps reduce anxiety and improve mood. Another approach centres on building coping skills for addiction, stress and anger, with practical exercises to use between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they will choose techniques that fit those needs. That shared process helps make sure therapy stays relevant and useful.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so readers should confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around daily life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a brief conversation will help. It also makes it possible to work with registered or accredited professionals from other locations if needed.

Before you get in touch

Therapists listed here offer talking therapy online. A profile is not a diagnosis of you or of anyone in your life, and no therapist can promise how a relationship will turn out.

If you are in danger, or someone is hurting or threatening you, contact emergency services or a domestic-abuse helpline. The numbers are at the foot of this page.
