About Ceri
Ceri Parry is a Registered Psychotherapist with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has five years of clinical experience and a background in nursing, including over 15 years working in NHS settings and adult mental health services. Ceri works with adults on problems such as anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship difficulties and life transitions.
Her approach draws on several practical therapies. She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to look at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going. She also uses person-centred methods to focus on what matters to the individual, and attachment-informed ideas to understand relationship patterns.
Ceri’s clinical history includes running clinics in GP surgeries and hospitals, managing caseloads in adult mental health services, and facilitating group work in addiction services. Her nursing experience gives her familiarity with long-term health conditions, pain management and the impact of chronic illness on daily life.
She has a Master’s-level psychology education with research on attachment, childhood trauma and cognition. Earlier study included a first-class BSc (Hons) with work on pain management and the interface between physical health and mood. This background informs how she links physical health, stress and emotional response.
Typical areas people bring include imposter syndrome, perfectionism, work stress, binge eating, low self-esteem, substance misuse, burnout and difficulties with purpose or meaning. Ceri also offers goal-focused sessions that use motivational interviewing and positive psychology to support self-improvement and behaviour change.
She works in English and accepts clients in the United Kingdom and internationally. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session via the platform.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-based work looks at patterns in relationships and how those patterns affect feelings and behaviour. Online sessions can use conversation and reflective exercises to map attachment styles and try new ways of relating.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural changes. In an online setting this often means setting clear, short tasks between sessions and reviewing progress together.
Person-centred work concentrates on what the person wants to change and follows their pace. It involves open conversation and practical support to set goals and notice what works in day-to-day life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with each person and choose methods that fit their needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around study, shifts or commuting, and it allows for shorter check-ins or focused goal sessions when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and homework to suit someone’s routine and commitments.
