Ceri Parry, BACP

Ceri Parry uses practical, evidence-informed therapy to help people find clearer ways forward. She brings a calm, straightforward style to sessions and aims to make talking about difficult things feel manageable. Ceri holds a BACP credential from the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and has five years of practice experience. She offers sessions in English and accepts clients in the United Kingdom and internationally.

Ceri combines several therapeutic approaches to match each person’s needs. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape present patterns. She draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to tackle anxious thoughts and unhelpful habits. Emotionally-Focused and client-centred methods are used to make space for feelings and to build self-compassion.

Her background includes clinical nursing experience across acute hospitals, community care and adult mental health services. That clinical work involved managing caseloads, running clinics and facilitating group work in addiction settings. Ceri’s MSc research covered attachment, personality and childhood trauma, which informs how she thinks about relational difficulties.

People often come to Ceri with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, addictions, eating concerns, low self-esteem, sleep problems, grief and work-related strain. She also supports those facing chronic illness, caregiving stress, body image issues and challenges around commitment and attachment.

Sessions can include goal-setting, motivational interviewing, solution-focused work and coaching for practical change. Ceri aims to move at a pace that suits each person and to help them try manageable steps between meetings.

How Ceri's approaches work online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current patterns and emotional responses. Online sessions can be used to notice those patterns, improve emotional connection and change how someone responds to stress or abandonment fears.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following the person’s pace. In practice this means sessions that prioritise what matters to the client, building self-acceptance and confidence through steady, empathic conversation.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thoughts and habits and replaces them with practical alternative behaviours. CBT online is useful for tackling anxiety, sleep problems, binge eating and work stress through structured exercises and between-session tasks.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss needs, goals and preferences and adapt methods accordingly. This is a collaborative process that may combine elements from different approaches as progress becomes clearer.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy lives or limited travel time. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work when bandwidth is lower, and live chat or text messaging suit brief check-ins or ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or health constraints while still using established therapeutic techniques.
