About Odin

Odin Parmenter is a counsellor who aims to make therapy straightforward and practical. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. Odin also supports those dealing with trauma, questions about gender and sexuality, neurodiversity and issues around identity and belonging.

He uses a person-focused style that centres what each client needs in the moment. That means sessions are shaped around the person's goals and pace rather than one fixed method.

Background and approach

Odin brings a clear, calm presence and focuses on building trust so people feel able to talk about painful or personal topics. Odin is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP. He has three years of direct counselling experience and currently practices with people across the United Kingdom and internationally in English.

His approach draws on attachment ideas, cognitive-behavioural techniques and emotionally-focused work to address feelings, patterns and relationships. He also uses existential perspectives to help people consider meaning and direction when life feels uncertain. In sessions Odin pays attention to how thoughts, emotions and the body connect.

He helps people spot unhelpful patterns, try different responses and build practical coping skills. The aim is to leave each session with something usable for daily life. People looking to begin complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a session.

Odin offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to fit different needs and routines.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Odin commonly combines attachment-based thinking and cognitive behavioural ideas to help people understand their patterns and try new responses. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships affect current trust and closeness, which can help with relationship struggles and feelings of abandonment. Cognitive behavioural work focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small changes to reduce anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and is worked out together. Odin discusses goals and preferences in early sessions and adapts the ways of working as needs change so therapy stays relevant and useful.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for a conversation like an in-person appointment, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and messaging lets people reflect between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and different schedules, while allowing therapists and registered or accredited professionals to focus on the practical steps people want to work on.
