John Odutemu, HCPC

John Odutemu works with adults who are dealing with relationship difficulties, sexual dysfunction, addiction and mood problems. He presents a calm, respectful way of talking that aims to make starting therapy easier for people who feel nervous about the first step. John is based in the United Kingdom and brings 12 years of professional experience to his work.

He uses plain conversation to find what matters most to each person. Sessions focus on building confidence, sorting out difficult emotions and developing practical steps to cope with day-to-day life. John adapts plans to individual needs rather than applying the same method to everyone.

John draws on a mix of approaches including acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-focused work and cognitive behavioural techniques. These are used to help with anxiety, low mood, relationship troubles and issues linked to identity and sexuality. He also brings experience supporting people with grief, trauma and ongoing stress.

Clients can expect a straightforward, compassionate approach that balances talking and practical tasks. He aims to make goals clear and to help people notice small changes that add up. The focus is on what the person wants to achieve and how to get there.

John encourages people to take the first step even when it feels hard. He tailors conversations and plans to fit each person’s situation and pace. If you want to explore your concerns, he will work alongside you to set realistic next steps.

Approaches that translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take small actions that match those values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and when someone feels stuck. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and feelings, helping people change how they relate and feel safer in close connections. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches simple strategies to reduce distress and improve routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. John will talk with each person about their needs and goals. Together you decide which ideas to try and adjust them as you go. The process is collaborative and aimed at practical change rather than one fixed method.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking since options are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving or travel. It can allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, avoid travel time and let people join from a quieter space. For many clients the convenience helps keep therapy consistent and to practise skills between sessions.
