Ceri Parry, BACP

Ceri Parry is a counsellor who bases her work on practical, people-centred approaches. She uses clear, evidence-informed methods to help people facing anxiety, stress, relationship worries and issues around intimacy and jealousy. Ceri draws on five years of psychotherapy experience and her background in nursing to offer grounded support.

She uses Attachment-Based and Client-Centred ideas to help people understand how early relationships shape present patterns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) inform hands-on tools for handling anxiety, mood shifts and cravings. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) shapes work around closeness, trust and emotional responses.

Before training in psychotherapy, Ceri worked for over 15 years as a nurse in NHS and community settings. That experience included adult mental health services, running clinics in GP surgeries and facilitating group work in addiction services. Her healthcare background gives her practical knowledge of long-term health conditions and complex needs.

Clients can expect short, clear tasks alongside reflective conversation. Ceri offers coaching-style sessions when people want to set goals or change habits. She emphasises gentle pacing, building confidence and small, achievable steps towards change.

Her academic work includes a Masters in Psychology with research on attachment and deception, and a first-class BSc (Hons) degree that covered CBT and pain management. Ceri is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP, and works with people in the United Kingdom and beyond.

How Ceri's approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy helps people see how early bonds shape trust and closeness. It aims to reduce repeated patterns that cause jealousy or distance by looking at emotional responses and relationship histories. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's experience in the moment, offering a non-judgemental space and practical reflection to build self-acceptance and confidence. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) gives concrete techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour, useful for anxiety, low mood and habit change.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose or blend methods based on the person's needs, goals and what feels most helpful. That choice can change over time as goals shift and progress is made.

The profile does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online work useful because it can fit around work and family routines, reduce travel time and allow more frequent or shorter check-ins when needed. Online sessions also make it easier to continue work if someone is travelling or living outside the UK, and they can support steady momentum through brief practical tasks between sessions.
