About Otis
Otis Carey helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship problems, anger and depression. He supports those coping with grief, sleep problems, parenting challenges, self-esteem and major life changes. His work also covers concerns linked to trauma and abuse, bipolar mood issues and family-related stresses.
Otis believes people know their own lives best and brings a practical, straightforward approach to sessions. He listens for strengths and practical steps that can make day-to-day life easier.
Background and approach
The aim is to build small, manageable changes that add up over time. With 12 years of experience he draws on a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques to tailor the work to each person. Sessions focus on clear goals, understandable tools and time to reflect on what is working.
He encourages realistic plans for coping and offers support while people try them out. Otis also works with a wide set of related issues such as abandonment, communication problems, codependency, dissociation and difficulties linked to neurodiversity. He is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which is given as BACP in his credentials.
Therapy with Otis aims to be collaborative and practical. People usually leave sessions with something concrete to try between appointments. Those interested in working together are asked to check current session options and proceed through the site booking flow.

How Otis works online
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. He will discuss options with each person and decide together what fits their goals and preferences. That collaborative decision is revisited as progress is made, so methods can be adjusted if needed.
Session formats are not listed in the original biography, so please confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, remove travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when that suits someone’s schedule. It can also make regular appointments more practical when juggling work, family or other commitments.
