About Ceri
Ceri Parry uses a blend of evidence-informed approaches to help people make practical changes and manage difficult feelings. She draws on methods such as cognitive behavioural and attachment-based work to tackle stress, anxiety, addiction and low self-esteem. Ceri's friendly manner aims to put people at ease so they can talk openly about what is affecting them.
Ceri trained to Masters level in psychology and holds BACP registration with five years of therapeutic experience.
Background and approach
She also has a background as a qualified nurse with more than 15 years working in healthcare and the NHS, including adult mental health and addiction settings. That combined experience informs her understanding of both mental and physical health challenges. Sessions usually focus on practical steps alongside emotional exploration.
Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to spot unhelpful thinking and build coping skills. Attachment-informed work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and intimacy-related issues. Ceri commonly helps people with anxiety, depression, trauma and substance misuse.
She also supports those dealing with eating concerns, body image, burnout, chronic illness and grief. Coaching-style sessions are offered for people wanting goal-setting and behaviour change support. Therapy is available through video, phone, live chat or text messaging.
Sessions are tailored to the individual and paced to suit their needs. Ceri welcomes people from the United Kingdom and international clients who prefer online support.

Online support
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence how people connect now. It can be helpful for intimacy-related issues, relationship patterns and attachment difficulties by exploring emotional responses and building new ways of relating.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, personal preferences and specific problems together to choose methods that fit. That collaborative process means plans can change as needs shift.
Online sessions offer flexibility and easier access for people with busy lives or mobility limits. Video calls let you see body language and hold longer sessions, phone sessions can be a good low-bandwidth option, and live chat or text messaging can be used for short check-ins or when typing feels easier. These formats allow therapy to fit around work, family and health commitments.
