For when you carry more than others see.
Ontro Therapy is the private practice of Odafe Sideso, a BACP-registered counsellor and psychotherapist, offering therapy in Ealing, West London and online.
I work with adults, with a particular focus on men.

Before training as a therapist, I spent over 25 years in business, as an entrepreneur and senior executive in Europe and Africa, across several industries.
Mentoring was the part of that career I valued most: seeing people from many different backgrounds grow on their own terms. I also saw the strain many of them carried, often where others couldn’t see it. That is what drew me to this work.
I bring my experience as a Black man, and an interest in culture, identity and belonging, to the work. I also counsel as a volunteer with a local mental health charity.
I’m interested in making therapy more accessible to men and to other underserved communities. I work with adults of all backgrounds: whoever you are, we start with your individual circumstances, without assumptions.
My training gave me the tools to offer a space where you can be understood without judgement, and where anything you bring is treated with respect. Above all, it allows for a more genuine, authentic relationship between us.


Three ideas behind the practice.
Room for the things you haven’t said out loud, or haven’t had space to notice.
For people who keep going, hold things together, and rarely get asked how they are.
Weekly, fortnightly or monthly, online or in person. We agree together what works.
Whatever you bring is met with understanding, respect and no judgement.
