About Ceri
Ceri Parry is a counsellor who uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside attachment-based and client-centred approaches. She draws on five years of professional practice and a background in nursing to support people facing emotional strain and life changes. Ceri works in English and offers online sessions to people in the United Kingdom and internationally.
Ceri helps with anxiety, stress and depression in straightforward, practical sessions. She also supports those struggling with addiction, eating issues, sleep problems and grief.
Background and approach
Relationship and intimacy-related concerns, low self-esteem, career stress and coping with chronic illness are common themes she addresses. Her clinical experience includes work in acute hospitals, community and primary care, and adult mental health services. She has run clinics in GP surgeries and facilitated group work in specialised addiction settings.
This combination of nursing and counselling experience informs a practical, down-to-earth style. In sessions Ceri blends Emotionally-Focused Therapy with attachment-based ideas and client-centred listening. She uses cognitive behavioural techniques and elements of dialectical behaviour therapy when they suit the client.
The focus is on understanding emotions, improving relationships with oneself and others, and building manageable coping skills. Ceri also uses coaching methods, motivational interviewing and goal-setting for people who want focused self-improvement work. Sessions are paced to the individual and aim to be non-judgemental and respectful.
To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions through the platform.

Online support
How emotion-focused and attachment work translate online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and make sense of strong emotions and the ways those feelings shape relationships. It is useful for people who want to understand emotional patterns and feel more connected to their own needs.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds influence current behaviour and relationships. It helps people spot unhelpful relationship patterns and try new ways of relating to themselves and others.
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding without judgement. Sessions are led by the client’s pace and priorities to build self-awareness and confidence.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Ceri will discuss options and together with the client decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaboration helps shape practical steps and short-term goals as well as deeper emotional work.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to access these approaches. Video calls recreate a face-to-face session, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text messaging lets people reflect between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities or travel commitments, while keeping the same therapeutic aims.
