About Ceri
Ceri Parry is a counsellor who combines practical psychological approaches with healthcare experience. She holds a BACP accreditation and trained to Masters level in psychology. Ceri draws on both nursing and psychotherapy backgrounds to help people make real changes in day-to-day life.
She uses methods such as cognitive behavioural techniques, attachment-based thinking and person-centred work. Those approaches are used to tackle stress, anxiety, depression and addiction-related problems. Ceri also supports people dealing with trauma, grief, low self-esteem and difficulties with relationships or intimacy.
Background and approach
Her clinical history includes more than a decade of nursing in the NHS and in acute hospital settings. Ceri has worked in adult mental health services, run clinics in GP surgeries and facilitated group work in addiction services. That blend of hospital and therapeutic experience shapes a practical, grounded style.
Ceri’s academic background includes a Masters in Psychology and a first-class BSc (Hons). Research areas have included attachment, attention and childhood trauma. Her undergraduate work covered pain management, CBT and treatment comparisons for depression.
In sessions she offers goal-focused coaching alongside longer-term therapeutic work. Techniques mentioned in her biography include motivational interviewing, solution-focused tools, trauma-informed approaches and positive psychology. She aims to move at a pace that suits each person and to support lasting changes.

How Ceri works online
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to a person’s goals, needs and preferences. That might mean combining short-term skill work with deeper, attachment-focused conversations over time.
The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and making regular check-ins easier to arrange. Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online work can allow shorter check-ins, reduce travel time and make it easier to balance therapy with work or caregiving commitments.
