About Ceri
Ceri Parry is a psychotherapist who draws on person-centred and evidence-informed approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety and life changes. She works with men concerned about mood, confidence, relationship strain and addictive behaviours, offering steady, practical support. Ceri holds BACP accreditation and brings five years of therapy experience to her work.
Ceri blends talking therapy with goal-focused techniques. She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and change patterns. Emotion-focused and attachment-based ideas help when relationships, grief or long-standing trust issues are involved. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills and motivational interviewing are used for emotion regulation and habit change.
Her background includes a Master of Science in Psychology research and a first-class BSc (Hons) with study in pain management and CBT. Before training as a therapist she worked for more than 15 years as a nurse across acute hospitals, community care and adult mental health services. That clinical experience informs a practical, down-to-earth approach to therapy.
Ceri commonly supports people with anxiety, depression, burnout, addiction-related concerns, body image and eating difficulties, trauma, low self-esteem and issues around purpose and meaning. She also works with clients facing chronic illness, caregiving stress and workplace pressure.
Sessions focus on clear goals, developing coping skills and building self-acceptance. Ceri aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space and moves at a pace that suits each person. To start, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire so an appropriate plan can be made.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based ideas focus on how early relationships shape current patterns and feelings; online sessions can use gentle reflection and relationship-focused exercises to help people notice and change those patterns. Client-centred therapy places the person's experience at the heart of the work, with the counsellor offering empathic listening and validation so clients can find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical experiments and skill practice to reduce anxiety or change habits.Finding the right approach is part of the process and the therapist will work collaboratively to decide what fits best. Conversations at the start of therapy look at your goals, preferences and what has or hasn't helped before, then the plan can be adjusted as needed over time.
Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family commitments, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some formats also suit quieter conversations while others work better for skills practice when seeing facial cues helps. Discuss practical arrangements with the therapist to pick what will work best for everyday life.
