About Odin
Odin Parmenter is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and he aims to offer a calm, respectful space for people to talk through what matters most to them. Odin works in a straightforward, relational way that centres how feelings and attachments shape everyday life.
He uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside attachment-based and client-centred ideas to notice patterns in how people relate and to find new ways of expressing needs.
Background and approach
He also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques and existential thinking when they suit a person’s goals. His approach pays attention to both mind and body. That can mean noticing how stress shows up physically, and using simple practices to reduce tension while talking through painful memories or current struggles.
Sessions tend to focus on real moments and clear steps that make day-to-day life easier. Odin has three years of practice and holds BACP registration, which is shown as BACP. He has experience with a wide range of concerns including ADHD, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, addictions and identity questions.
He also works with people exploring kink and alternative sexual cultures. Therapy can be held in different formats to suit busy lives. Odin accepts international clients and works in English.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and book according to the therapist’s schedule.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online counselling
Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on understanding and naming emotions to change unhelpful patterns in relationships and self-view. Online work can use conversations and reflective exercises to help people notice feelings and practice new ways of expressing them. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current reactions and closeness. In remote sessions that can mean tracing common patterns in relationships and trying alternative responses in real time with the counsellor's guidance.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Odin treats therapy as a collaborative process and will discuss which methods suit a person’s goals and temperament. He is open to blending approaches so the plan fits practical needs and personal preferences rather than relying on a single model.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversation and seeing non-verbal cues, phone calls work when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit shorter check-ins and text messaging allows ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, childcare and travel, and they offer different ways to engage depending on what feels most comfortable.
