Ceri Parry, BACP

Ceri Parry is a counsellor and psychotherapist who works from an integrative, person-centred stance. She uses straightforward, practical conversation to help people cope with stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem and relationship strain. Ceri’s BACP credential is shown as BACP and she brings five years of clinical practice alongside a nursing background to her work.

She focuses on helping people notice patterns that get in the way and then try small, practical changes. That might include tackling panic, improving sleep, managing binge eating, or reducing unhelpful phone habits. Clients often work on clearer boundaries, better self-care and roots of low confidence.

Ceri has worked for more than 15 years in nursing roles across acute hospitals, community settings and primary care. She also ran clinics in GP surgeries and facilitated group work in addiction services. This background informs her approach to complex health and care issues.

Her academic training includes a Masters in Psychology and a BSc (Hons) first-class degree with study in CBT, pain management and depression. Ceri blends cognitive approaches with emotionally-focused and attachment-informed thinking to match the issue at hand.

Sessions often centre on practical strategies such as goal-setting and motivational interviewing. Ceri describes the room as non-judgemental and paced to the individual, aiming to help people find clearer purpose, rebuild confidence and manage life changes.

How these approaches work in online therapy

Attachment-based work pays attention to how early relationships shape current struggles and emotional responses. It helps people understand connection patterns and learn new ways of relating to themselves and others. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with simple behavioural experiments, which suits anxiety, mood and sleep difficulties. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and process strong feelings and then build different emotional responses to improve relationships and self-understanding.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and together you will decide which methods to use. That collaborative conversation begins in the first sessions and can change as needs evolve.

If you are considering online work, check which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow quieter, focused conversations from wherever you are. They also allow for shorter check-ins or longer sessions to suit your schedule, and they can be a flexible option for people juggling work, health care or family commitments.
