Ceri Parry is a registered psychotherapist with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), trained to Masters level and with more than 1000 hours of one-to-one therapy experience. She combines her psychotherapy training with a nursing background, bringing over 15 years of experience working across acute general hospitals, community and primary care settings within the NHS. Her clinical career has included senior nursing roles in Adult Mental Health Services where she managed caseloads and staff, running clinics at GP surgeries and hospitals, and facilitating group therapy for addiction at a private hospital.
Ceri works with a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, eating difficulties, depression, relationship and family issues, grief, intimacy-related problems, sleep difficulties, parenting and anger, self-esteem and career challenges, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes. She also addresses areas such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, aging and geriatric issues, attachment and personality-related difficulties, autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family dynamics, body image, cancer and caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, co-morbidity, codependency and commitment issues. Her client work includes more focused topics listed in her clinical practice such as imposter syndrome, ADHD and neurodiversity, phone addiction or doom-scrolling, panic attacks, existential concerns, perfectionism, binge eating, FOMO and comparison, fatigue related to chronic illness, and support for habit change and recovery from substance misuse.
Her therapeutic toolkit includes attachment-based and client-centered approaches alongside established methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), emotionally-focused therapy (EFT), existential therapy, mindfulness-based techniques, motivational interviewing, solution-focused work, somatic therapy, and trauma-focused interventions. She also integrates positive psychology, goal-setting and coaching, and biopsychosocial perspectives where helpful, and offers sessions that concentrate on self-improvement using motivational interviewing and positive psychology techniques.
Ceri's academic background includes research completed during a Psychology MSc on topics such as developmental psychology and attachment styles, individual differences and personality traits, cognitive attention, childhood trauma, social identity, and a thesis titled The Effect of Individual Differences on the Ability to Accurately Detect Deception: An Investigation of Emotional Intelligence and Recognition of Facial Emotion. Her BSc (Hons) first-class degree included study of pain management, including fibromyalgia and living with chronic pain, cognitive behavioral therapy, diabetes management, and a thesis comparing antidepressants with exercise treatment for major depression.
She aims to provide a comfortable, non-judgmental therapeutic space and works at a pace that suits each person. Ceri is currently accepting clients, including international clients, and offers appointments through a variety of remote formats to suit different needs.
