Ceri Parry is a counsellor who blends practical talking therapy with problem-solving tools. She uses client-centred, attachment-based and cognitive approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction and mood changes. Ceri holds BACP accreditation and brings five years of experience to her practice.

She draws on several approaches to match what each person needs. Sessions can include talking things through, identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, and building small habits that make daily life feel easier.

Background and approach

Ceri also uses techniques for emotional regulation and improving relationships with oneself and others. Before moving into counselling, Ceri trained and worked as a nurse for over 15 years in hospitals and community settings. That background shaped her practical focus and her comfort with working through long-term health, chronic pain and fatigue.

She has experience running clinics and facilitating group work in addiction settings. Her academic background includes a Masters in Psychology and a first-class BSc (Hons). Research interests included attachment, attention, trauma and how individual differences affect emotion recognition and coping.

This informs a thoughtful, evidence-aware approach to therapy. In sessions she aims to create a straightforward, non-judgemental space. People who come to her often want help with confidence, eating issues, work stress, grief, parenting strains and finding purpose.

She supports people who are changing habits, managing burnout or navigating major life adjustments.

Online approaches that fit your life

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional patterns. It helps people understand connection, trust and attachment issues so they can change repetitive relationship habits. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's perspective at the centre of sessions and offers a calm, accepting space to explore feelings and values. This approach suits people who need a non-judgemental place to make sense of what they are going through. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, improve mood and change unhelpful routines.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful in early sessions. Adjustments are made as work progresses so the plan fits the person rather than forcing a single method.

Online therapy offers a range of ways to connect including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video sessions work well for in-depth conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions are good for lower bandwidth or when being on camera is not needed. Live chat and text are useful for short check-ins, brief problem-solving or fitting therapy into a busy day. These formats make it easier to fit regular support around work, caring duties and travel.
