Start with Ceri About Ceri
Ceri Parry is a BACP counsellor who combines talking therapies with practical coaching. She draws on five years of clinical practice and a nursing background to help people cope with stress, anxiety, addiction and life changes. Ceri aims to make sessions straightforward and goal-focused when that fits, while also allowing space for deeper exploration of past trauma and relationship concerns.
She trained to Masters level in psychology and has worked for more than a decade in healthcare as a nurse. That clinical experience included adult mental health services, hospital and community settings, and leading group work in addiction services. Those roles inform how she plans treatment and supports people facing complex health or care needs.
Ceri uses a mix of approaches tailored to each person. She draws on attachment-based thinking to look at relationship patterns. Cognitive behavioural techniques help with unwanted thoughts and behaviours. Emotion-focused and client-centred methods are used when people want to explore feelings and meaning.
Practical help may include setting achievable goals, building coping skills, and breaking habits such as doom-scrolling or binge behaviour. She also offers support around work stress, burnout, body image and self-esteem, and managing long-term health issues. Sessions move at a pace chosen by the client.
Ceri works with English-speaking clients and accepts international enquiries. To begin, people are invited to use the site's Start Therapy process and complete a short matching questionnaire before arranging sessions.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online therapy
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people understand repeated difficulties in close relationships. It can be useful for those who want to explore connection, trust or attachment-related worries. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and habits and practising new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety, low mood or problematic coping. Emotionally-focused work helps people put words to feeling states and to process emotional pain, which often supports healing after trauma or loss.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy journey. The therapist will discuss needs, goals and preferences and together they will find what fits best. Some people prefer practical, skills-based work while others want more time to explore feelings and history, and the plan can change as progress is made.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving and travel. It can also allow shorter check-ins, avoid commuting, and let people choose quieter times that suit their routine. Registered or accredited professionals offering online sessions can adapt tools and exercises so therapeutic work continues effectively across distance.
