He can help with relationship strain, grief, issues around gender and LGBT concerns, and struggles such as addiction or sleep and eating difficulties.

He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, known as BACP.
Background and approach
Odin blends relational work with practical tools to help people manage symptoms and feel steadier day to day. He also pays attention to how the body and mind interact, bringing that awareness into sessions when it’s useful. Odin uses a range of approaches to match what each person needs.
He draws on attachment-focused ideas to look at how past relationships shape current patterns. He also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and shift responses. Emotionally-focused and existential ideas help when people want to look at feelings and meaning in life.
In practice he keeps the room direct and humane. Sessions tend to focus on what matters most right now, with attention to personal history and current coping. Odin aims to create a space where people can work through shame, loneliness, identity questions and practical problems without judgement.
He has three years of experience and works with clients in the United Kingdom. Sessions are conducted in English and he is available to work with international clients as well.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Attachment‑based work pays attention to early relationship patterns and how they affect trust and closeness today; it can help when past losses or unstable attachments make relationships or self‑belief difficult. Client‑centred therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following what the person brings, which helps when someone needs space to be heard and understood. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviours in a practical way and is useful for easing anxiety, low mood and unhelpful routines.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then adapt methods so they fit the client rather than forcing a single model. This is a collaborative process where techniques and the relationship are adjusted over time.
The practical benefits of online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as reducing travel time and allowing quicker check‑ins during a work break. The biography does not list which session formats are provided, so please confirm current options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often offer online work that focuses on making therapy manageable alongside everyday commitments.
