About Ceri
Ceri Parry is a counsellor who combines talking therapies with practical tools. She trained to Masters level and holds BACP registration. Ceri brings clinical and nursing experience to sessions and aims to make therapy straightforward and usable.
Ceri draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioural ideas, attachment-informed work and person-centred ways of relating. She helps people talk through anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief and addiction-related difficulties. She also supports those coping with chronic illness, cancer, caregiver stress and compassion fatigue.
Before moving into full-time therapy Ceri worked for over 15 years as a nurse in the NHS and in community settings. That experience included adult mental health services, clinics at GP surgeries and facilitating group work in addiction services. Her background means she is used to working alongside medical teams and understanding health-related life changes.
In session she uses clear, practical techniques alongside reflective conversation. That might mean setting manageable goals, trying strategies to change unhelpful thinking or looking at how early attachment affects current relationships. She also offers focused work on self-improvement using positive psychology and motivational interviewing methods.
Ceri has research experience from an MSc in Psychology, covering areas such as attachment, attention and childhood trauma. Her first degree included study of pain management and CBT. She aims to go at a pace that suits each person and to make sessions accessible and relevant to everyday life.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online counselling
Attachment-based work looks at patterns from earlier relationships and how they shape feelings and closeness now. Online sessions can use this to map how past experiences affect current caring roles, grief or relationship worries. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour with concrete exercises and homework. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties and habit change and adapts well to talk-based remote sessions. Client-centred therapy puts the person's experience and choices at the centre, offering a calm, non-judgemental space to work through loss, burnout or questions about purpose.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and may combine practical skills with reflective conversation over a number of sessions.
The biography does not list specific remote formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it simpler to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it easier to keep continuity of care for people living away from specialist services while still using evidence-based techniques.
