About Otis

Otis Carey is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 12 years of professional experience. He works with people who struggle with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, anger and low mood. He also helps with grief, sleeping problems, parenting strain and coping with life changes.

Otis takes a straightforward approach in sessions. He treats clients as the experts in their own lives and focuses on practical steps they can use between meetings. Conversations will look at patterns that keep problems going and small changes that reduce their impact.

His background includes over a decade of post-qualification work across a range of concerns. That breadth means he can recognise when issues such as trauma, bipolar mood swings, or co-morbidity call for a careful plan rather than a single technique. He brings that experience into deciding which methods to try first.

Sessions explore what triggers anger, how it shows up day to day, and what gets in the way of calmer responses. He also supports people dealing with abandonment, communication breakdown, divorce and separation, or disruptive mood issues. Practical skills, reflective conversation and steady pacing are typical features of his work.

Otis offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. He uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary by location. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How sessions work

Approaches that help with anger and related issues

Evidence‑based therapeutic techniques are used to address anger and its triggers. Cognitive approaches look at how thought patterns feed emotional responses and teach practical ways to reframe or pause those automatic reactions. They can help with workplace frustration and negative self-talk.

Behavioural and skills‑based work focuses on concrete strategies such as breathing, activity scheduling and stepwise exposure to difficult situations. These methods aim to reduce avoidance, improve sleep and give people tools to manage strong emotions in the moment.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, try methods in session and adjust plans based on how well they fit the client’s goals and preferences. Decisions are made collaboratively rather than imposed.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm which online options are available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check‑ins when needed, or remove travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can use online work to focus on practical skills, reflective conversation and follow‑up tasks that fit into everyday life.
