About Ceri
Ceri Parry is a psychotherapist who uses a practical, person-centred way of working. She draws on talking therapy and structured approaches to help people with stress, anxiety, addictions and low mood. Ceri’s background in nursing also informs how she supports people through health-related difficulties and life changes.
She blends talking techniques with goal-focused work. That can mean looking at thought patterns, practising new coping skills, and setting small achievable steps.
Background and approach
Sessions are straightforward and aimed at making problems easier to manage day to day. Ceri has five years of therapy experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Before moving into psychotherapy she spent over 15 years nursing in hospitals, community care and mental health services.
That clinical background shapes how she listens to complex or long-term health concerns. Common issues she helps with include anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, body image and work stress. She also supports people facing grief, chronic illness, caregiver strain and changes around parenting or relationships.
Ceri can work with overlapping issues like burnout, eating difficulties and substance misuse. Her approach draws from attachment-informed ideas, cognitive work and emotion-focused ways of understanding relationships and feelings. She also uses coaching tools such as motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques when helpful.
Sessions aim to be non-judgemental and paced to suit the person. People can expect practical conversations that link feelings to everyday choices. The focus is on clear steps, exploring what matters, and building skills to cope better over time.

How these approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy helps people notice how early relationship patterns shape current feelings and responses. Online work can use conversational exercises to explore attachment needs and to practise new ways of relating to others.Client-Centred Therapy focuses on a respectful, non-judgemental space where the person leads the conversation. In remote sessions this means the counsellor follows the client’s pace and priorities while reflecting feelings and helping clarify goals.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact. Remotely this often involves setting clear tasks between sessions, keeping simple records of thoughts and trying small behavioural changes to test what helps.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and agree which methods to try. That collaborative process can change over time as new priorities emerge.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation without travel. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when a spoken check-in fits a break at work. Live chat or text-based messaging can be useful for brief updates, journalling-style reflections or when someone prefers typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life while still focusing on the same clinical approaches and goals.
