About Bechan
Bechan Parry is a counsellor with ten years of practice who aims to make the first step into therapy easier. She encourages people to bring what they are feeling and thinking without pressure. Her work is calm and direct, focused on helping people sort through what feels overwhelming and find ways to cope day to day.
She draws on a mix of familiar approaches such as Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to structure sessions.
Background and approach
These help with anxiety, low mood, stress and relationship concerns by focusing on current problems and practical strategies. Narrative and Solution-Focused ideas also feature, helping people reframe difficult experiences and identify small, manageable goals. Bechan has experience supporting people through trauma, grief, addiction and complex mood issues including bipolar conditions.
She also works with concerns around intimacy, self-esteem, eating and sleeping difficulties, and the strain of caregiving. People challenged by attention difficulties, autism spectrum traits, chronic illness or chronic pain may find the practical focus helpful. Sessions are offered in English and take place with people in the United Kingdom.
She practises in line with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different needs. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then book a time that fits their schedule.
The subscription model used for sessions can be cancelled at any time and fees vary with location and therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online working
Bechan uses Client-Centred Therapy to create a listening space where the person leads the conversation. That approach helps when someone needs acceptance and time to make sense of their feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, provides straightforward tools to spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviours, which can be useful for anxiety, panic and mood difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Bechan will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and decide together which methods to use. This collaborative process means the plan can change as progress is made or new priorities emerge.
Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is good for a fuller conversation and visual connection, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging suits shorter check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family and other commitments.
