About Parie
Parie holds BACP accreditation, which she gained while building four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She shapes sessions to meet each person's needs and adapts the pace according to what feels comfortable. People can expect clear aims and simple strategies to try between sessions.
She has additional experience supporting concerns such as abandonment and attachment issues, body image, caregiver stress, communication problems, and workplace pressures. Parie also addresses topics including panic attacks, sexuality, social anxiety, and navigating separation or divorce.
Her approach is respectful and sensitive. She offers a steady, non-judgemental space for people to talk through difficult thoughts and feelings. Parie helps clients set small, achievable goals and builds on progress over time.
Taking the first step can feel daunting, and Parie aims to make that step easier. She encourages open conversation about what a person wants from therapy and how to reach those aims together.

Focus areas
Evidence‑based approaches and flexible online care
Parie works from evidence‑based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical steps and emotional understanding. One common approach she uses helps people learn to notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours, useful for anxiety, panic and low mood. Another approach emphasises understanding attachment and relationship patterns, which can help with communication, abandonment concerns and rebuilding trust.Choosing the right way of working is part of the process, and Parie treats this as a collaborative decision. She will talk with clients about their goals and preferences, try approaches that suit the person's situation, and adjust the plan if something is not helping. The aim is to find what feels most useful for the individual rather than imposing a single method.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for many people. Video calls allow face‑to‑face conversation without travel, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging can make brief check‑ins easier during a busy week. These options give flexibility for different schedules and communication styles while keeping the therapeutic work focused on real, achievable change.
