Celia Flack, BACP

Celia Flack uses an integrative, person-centred approach to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression and the impact of trauma and abuse. She combines practical techniques with listening and warmth to make sessions straightforward and focused. Celia holds BACP accreditation and works from the United Kingdom. She speaks English and accepts international clients.

In sessions she listens without judgement and helps people notice how their thoughts, feelings and bodies respond to difficult experiences. She draws on cognitive behavioural tools to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and on attachment ideas to understand relationship wounds. Work with her often includes checking practical steps you can try between meetings.

Celia has seven years of professional experience and several years in private practice. That background includes supporting people recovering from traumatic events and those coping with long-term illness or caregiving stress. She pays attention to how early relationships and abandonment concerns can shape present struggles.

Her style is collaborative and paced to each person. She explains techniques plainly and helps set small, achievable goals. Sessions may include practical skills, reflective conversation and attention to bodily responses after distressing events.

People come to address low self-esteem, communication or commitment worries, guilt and shame, dissociation, or family and blended family tensions. Celia also supports those facing cancer, chronic pain, or the strain of caregiving, helping them carry on with more ease.

How her approaches work online and what they focus on

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships influence current feelings and reactions. Online sessions help people notice patterns in relationships and practise different ways of connecting or setting boundaries. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and gives simple tools to test and change unhelpful thinking. In an online session clients can learn practical exercises, try short behavioural experiments and review results together. Client-centred therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of the work, offering acceptance and listening so people can find their own solutions and build confidence.

Finding the right approach is part of the journey. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals and preferences and agree which methods to try first. Work is collaborative and can change over time as needs shift and as practical strategies are tested.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video sessions are useful for conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be quieter and need less bandwidth, and messaging or live chat suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options let people access a registered or accredited professional from different locations and fit therapy around work, caregiving and travel commitments.
