About Ceri
Ceri Parry is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years post-qualification experience. She holds a Masters-level psychotherapy education and reports more than 1,000 hours of one-to-one therapy work. Her practice covers stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and related concerns including codependency and relationship problems.
She also brings over 15 years of nursing experience in acute hospitals, community and primary care. That background includes senior nursing roles in adult mental health, running clinics in GP surgeries and hospitals, and facilitating group work in addiction services. This clinical and healthcare experience shapes how she frames problems and support options.
Ceri uses approaches drawn from attachment-based work, client-centred practice and cognitive behavioural techniques. She also draws on dialectical behaviour therapy skills and emotionally-focused ideas when they fit the issue. Sessions commonly include goal-setting, motivational interviewing and practical strategies to change habits and manage stress.
Typical concerns described in her profile include panic and anxiety, binge eating, burnout, low self-esteem, substance misuse and difficulties with meaning or purpose. She also lists work on attention and neurodiversity, chronic illness fatigue, parenting strain and issues linked to abandonment or attachment.
People who choose her may work on clearer boundaries, reducing people-pleasing, managing urges or compulsive behaviours, and improving everyday coping. The first sessions are used to agree priorities and a plan, with progress reviewed over time.
How sessions work
How her approaches work online
Ceri commonly uses attachment-based ideas, client-centred practice and cognitive behavioural techniques. Attachment-based work looks at how early patterns of relating affect current relationships and helps people understand repeated responses to closeness or rejection. Client-centred work involves open listening and reflec tion to support people in finding their own solutions and priorities. Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing practical behaviour changes to reduce anxiety, low mood or compulsive routines.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client will discuss goals, try methods in session, and adapt what they do based on what helps. That collaborative planning supports clearer boundaries, habit change, and managing urges over time.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or health commitments and can allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people try different session lengths and pacing to suit their day-to-day life while keeping the focus on practical steps and reflective conversation.
