Ceri Parry

Ceri Parry is a BACP-registered psychotherapist who combines practical therapy with a nursing background. She brings five years of therapy experience and more than 1,000 hours of one-to-one work to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction and anger. Ceri writes plainly and aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space for people who feel stuck or overwhelmed.

She uses approaches such as cognitive behavioural techniques and attachment-based ideas to make sense of current patterns. Sessions can include practical goal setting, skills practice and problem-solving so people can try small changes between meetings. Ceri also draws on person-centred ideas to keep conversations grounded in what matters most to the individual.

Before practising as a psychotherapist she worked for over 15 years as a nurse in the NHS and other healthcare settings. That experience includes adult mental health services, hospital clinics and facilitation of addiction group work. Her clinical background informs a straightforward, pragmatic style in the therapy room.

Her training includes a Masters in Psychology research into attachment and deception recognition, and a first-class BSc (Hons) covering topics such as pain management and CBT. This academic work sits alongside practical experience with long-term health conditions, burnout and substance misuse.

People come to Ceri for help with low self-esteem, body image, compulsive behaviours, workplace stress, relationship concerns and coping with life changes. She also offers coaching-style sessions focused on motivation and personal development. Her approach is collaborative and paced to the individual.

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people notice repeated reactions in relationships and try different ways of connecting. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and habit change.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through goals and preferences and decide together what to try first. That may mean blending approaches, setting short-term tasks, or using coaching-style sessions to work on motivation and change.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm what is offered before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they fit more easily into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow brief check-ins when needed. Online work can also make it simpler to practise skills between sessions and to bring real-life examples into discussion.
