About
Oran Blackwood is a licensed counsellor with 5 years of therapeutic experience working with both adults and children. He combines a clinical and educational background to support people through a range of mental health and life challenges.
Before focusing on counselling, Oran spent 25 years in education, 15 of which were working with children with special educational needs. That experience informs his work with neurodiverse clients and helps him understand how educational, social and developmental factors can affect wellbeing.
Oran has worked with people facing depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, career concerns, OCD and ADHD, and he has supported many who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. He is also experienced and comfortable addressing suicide ideation and self-harm in therapy.
Although he works with neurotypical clients, Oran specialises in neurodiversity - mainly ADHD and autism. He helps neurodiverse people who often experience co-occurring mental health issues related to masking, social interaction and communication difficulties, and feelings of isolation. His practice aims to address relationship problems, low self-esteem, and risks such as self-harm or suicidal thoughts.
Oran adopts a client-centred counselling approach focused on supporting personal growth and building self-belief. His combined clinical and educational experience with neurodiverse children and adults, along with work in respite organisations supporting people with suicide ideation, shapes the practical and empathetic support he offers.

Is Online Therapy the Right Fit for Your Needs?
Many people ask whether online therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties or coping with life changes, online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions.
One major benefit is flexibility - clients can choose the format that suits them best, whether that is video calls, phone sessions, live chat or in-app messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to stay consistent with appointments.
All therapists involved are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to change therapists if they feel another fit would be better. For many people seeking support for everyday mental health challenges, online therapy offers a practical and effective route to care.
