Bechan Parry, BACP

Bechan Parry is a counsellor with ten years of experience. She aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable. She invites people to bring what is on their mind and to talk through painful or confusing parts of life without judgement.

Bechan describes therapy as a joint process where the person sets the pace. She works in a calm, straightforward way and focuses on what matters most right now. Conversations are shaped around the issues the person brings, such as stress, anxiety, trauma and grief, or problems with sleep and eating.

Her background includes a decade of work across different settings and a BACP accreditation from the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Bechan uses this experience to tailor sessions to each person’s needs and day-to-day reality.

In sessions she draws on methods that help people make sense of their experiences and try out new ways of coping. This can include looking at thoughts and behaviours, telling the story of what has happened, and focusing on concrete steps forward. She also pays attention to long-standing patterns such as attachment and issues linked to neurodiversity.

People often come with mood difficulties, relationship concerns, stress at work, or questions about life direction. Bechan supports those facing complex situations like chronic illness, caregiving strain, trauma, or obsessive thinking, helping them find practical ways to manage and move forward.

Approaches that guide online conversations

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person and their experience. The counsellor listens closely and follows the person’s lead, helping them make sense of feelings and choices. This approach can help with low self-esteem, grief, and relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. It uses practical exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and build new coping skills, which is useful for anxiety, panic and mood problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Decisions about methods are made collaboratively and can change as progress is made.

Confirm the current session options before booking to know which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people meet from different parts of the UK without needing to visit in person. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt their techniques for remote sessions so practical tools and emotional support remain the focus.
