About Ceri
Ceri Parry is a counsellor who combines conversational, person-centred work with practical techniques. She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and attachment-focused ideas to help people reduce stress and improve sleep and rest. Ceri also uses motivational approaches when people want to change habits or work towards a specific goal.
She trained to Masters level and holds BACP registration, and she has five years' counselling experience alongside a long nursing career. Before focusing on therapy she worked for more than 15 years in healthcare, including acute hospital settings, community care and adult mental health services. That background shapes her practical outlook in sessions.
Ceri helps with common problems such as anxiety, low mood, panic, trauma, addictions and relationship concerns. She also supports people dealing with work stress, burnout, chronic illness and difficulties with eating or body image. Sleeping and rest are listed among her areas of focus, so conversations about routines, fatigue and night-time worries are part of her practice.
In a typical session Ceri uses clear, everyday language and builds small steps to change. She offers goal-focused work when needed and space for more open, reflective conversation when people prefer that. Motivational interviewing and positive psychology tools are used to support behaviour change and wellbeing.
Her background in nursing means she is used to working alongside medical teams and understanding physical health concerns. People who choose her often want practical ideas they can try between sessions alongside a compassionate listening approach.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect feelings and reactions today and helps people notice and change unhelpful patterns in relationships and self-care. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and supporting people to find their own solutions, offering a non-directive space to talk through worries and rest problems. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical exercises to improve sleep, reduce anxiety and change habits.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with the client and agree a way forward together. Sessions can mix listening, skill-building and short tasks to suit the person's goals and preferences.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example avoiding travel time, fitting sessions into a work break, or choosing a shorter check-in when needed. It also lets people use written exercises, sleep diaries and screen-shared materials between meetings to support progress.
