About Oran
NCPS. 5 years' experience. Oran Blackwood works with adults on a range of difficulties using approaches he lists in his practice. He focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, ADHD and addictions among other concerns. He offers counselling that aims to help people talk through current problems and develop practical coping strategies.
Oran uses methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Mindfulness and Narrative Therapy. In sessions he listens, reflects and helps people identify patterns that keep problems going. He also works on issues around self-esteem, grief, intimacy and relationship difficulties. Practical strategies and short-term skill building are part of his way of working when appropriate.
His background includes experience with neurodiversity, including attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder and autism spectrum presentations. He describes work with people who experience masking, communication difficulties and isolation, and he helps address associated mood and coping difficulties. He has worked with people affected by abuse and trauma and with those facing addiction and self-harm thoughts.
Oran also lists focus areas such as parenting stress, career and work concerns, sleep and eating issues, and compassion fatigue. He notes additional experience relevant to adoption and foster care, attachment and ageing issues. Clients who wish to use therapy alongside coaching goals are welcome to discuss that blend.
Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
Therapeutic approaches used in online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without trying to push them away, and then choose actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, stress and low mood by shifting focus toward meaningful activity.Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding the person as they describe themselves. The counsellor listens and reflects to help clients clarify what matters to them and to build confidence in their own problem-solving abilities.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and introduces practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression and sleep problems.
Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and will help identify which methods suit the client best. That decision is made together and can change as therapy progresses.
Confirm the current session options before booking as formats are not specified in the biography. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people keep therapy going when they are living abroad or have limited local options, and many registered or accredited professionals offer flexible arrangements to suit daily routines.
