Ceri Parry
Calm, practical psychotherapy for life’s hard moments
About Ceri
Ceri Parry uses a blend of talking therapies to help people through stress, anxiety, addiction and related concerns. She is presented as a BACP member and brings five years of practice experience to sessions. Ceri writes in plain language and aims to make therapy approachable and practical for people feeling overwhelmed.
She draws on attachment-based and client-centred ideas to build a trusting space. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps with unhelpful thoughts and behaviour patterns, while Emotionally-Focused Therapy supports work around feelings and relationships.
Background and approach
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy offers tools for emotional regulation and coping when stress feels intense. Her background includes a Master of Science in Psychology research on attachment, deception detection and emotional processing. Ceri also completed a first-class BSc (Hons) with work on pain management and CBT, and she has more than a thousand hours of direct therapeutic practice recorded during training.
Before specialising in psychotherapy she worked as a nurse for over 15 years in NHS acute, community and primary care settings. That clinical experience included adult mental health services, leading clinics and facilitating group work in addiction services at a personal hospital. In sessions she uses practical strategies such as goal-setting, motivational interviewing and solution-focused work alongside trauma-informed thinking.
People can expect short, clear tasks between meetings and conversational exploration in the room. Ceri offers appointments by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging for people in the United Kingdom and internationally.

Sessions & fees
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds affect current relationships and emotional responses; online sessions use gentle conversation to identify attachment patterns and develop new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, with clear exercises and between-session tasks that suit video or message formats. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and process core emotions within relationships and can be adapted to talk-based online sessions where feelings are explored safely.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals and preferences. That might mean combining skills work from CBT with client-centred listening or focusing on attachment patterns first and adding coaching tools later.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and exercises that use visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be a good option for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing or want brief, regular contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel while still accessing the therapeutic approaches described above.
