Otis Carey, BACP

Otis Carey is a United Kingdom based therapist with 12 years of post-qualification professional experience and registration with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. He works with people experiencing stress and anxiety, those coping with addictions, and clients facing relationship difficulties or challenges with anger management. He approaches each person with respect for their own knowledge, recognising that clients are experts in their own stories and already possess strengths that can help them move forward.

Otis frames therapy as a collaborative process that honours the courage it takes to seek change. He supports people through the practical steps of addressing current difficulties while helping them build on existing resources to create a more fulfilling and happier life. Whether someone is taking their first step towards therapy or continuing ongoing work, he offers steady professional support and practical guidance to help clients reach their goals.

Evidence-based techniques and online support

Otis Carey uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and personal understanding. One common strand involves teaching practical coping skills and behavioural strategies that help reduce the impact of stress, anxiety, and addictive patterns by providing tools to manage symptoms and build healthier routines. Another strand emphasises relational and exploratory work that helps clients identify recurring patterns in relationships or emotional responses, supporting healing from anger, grief, and difficult life changes by increasing self-awareness and emotional regulation.

Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the therapeutic process. Otis works collaboratively with each person to determine which approaches best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage with a registered professional, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, to access support from different locations, and to choose the communication style that feels most comfortable. Otis adapts his approach to the online format to maintain a focused, effective working relationship with each client.
