About Ceri

Ceri Parry is a Registered Psychotherapist with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has five years of practice experience. She trained to Masters level and brings clinical and nursing experience from over a decade working in healthcare settings. Ceri supports people with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, eating concerns, depression, relationship and family difficulties, grief, intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, career change, bipolar, and coping with life changes.

Her background includes more than 1,000 hours of one-to-one therapy and 15 years as a qualified nurse in NHS and community services. That nursing work ranged from acute hospital wards to primary care clinics and adult mental health services where she managed a clinical caseload. She has also facilitated group work in addiction services within a private hospital setting.

Ceri uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside attachment-based and client-centred approaches. She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) techniques when helpful. Sessions often include goal-setting, motivational interviewing, solution-focused strategies and elements of positive psychology to support practical change.

Her academic work includes an MSc in Psychology with research on attachment and emotional recognition, and a BSc (Hons) with first-class honours covering pain management and CBT. She names topics such as burnout, chronic illness, body image, perfectionism and phone addiction among common areas she addresses.

Ceri works in English and accepts international clients. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the online booking flow.

How her approaches translate to online work

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and name difficult emotions and the patterns those emotions create in close relationships. It focuses on what people feel in the moment and how those feelings shape interactions and personal responses.

Attachment-based therapy looks at how early bonds influence current ways of relating and coping. It helps people notice attachment patterns and work on changing repeated responses that cause distress.

Client-centred therapy centres the session on the person’s own experience, using listening and reflection to help them make sense of their feelings and decide on next steps. These approaches suit issues like relationship patterns, grief, anxiety and managing life changes.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative step. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs, and together they will decide which methods to try. That process may combine EFT with CBT or DBT techniques when relevant.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, emotion-focused conversations and practical skills training to remote sessions to fit everyday life.
