About Bechan

Bechan Parry is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has ten years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with adults on a wide range of issues including stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, and anger. Sessions are offered in English and aim to help people name what is happening and find practical ways to cope.

Her style is straightforward and person-focused. She uses talking therapies that help people reflect on patterns, test new coping steps, and notice what changes. Conversations cover day-to-day problems as well as deeper life themes, such as identity, meaning, and attachment. Bechan helps people explore relationship strains, parenting pressures, workplace stress, and recurrent frustration that surfaces as anger.

Practically, she draws on approaches like Client-Centred Therapy to listen and respond to each person, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to look at how thoughts and behaviours interact. Narrative and Solution-Focused methods are also part of the mix, useful for reworking unhelpful stories and setting short-term goals. Therapy can include talking through recent events, noticing unhelpful thinking, and trying small behavioural experiments between sessions.

She has supported people facing complex issues such as trauma, grief, chronic illness, OCD, ADHD, and mood disorders. That background informs how she plans sessions and priorities for work together. Bechan expects collaboration: clients and counsellor agree on what to focus on and how to proceed.

To begin, visitors are asked to follow the site process to match and book a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a cancellable subscription model.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to the person in front of her. It is about following what matters to the client and helping them find their own direction, which can be useful for relationship strains, grief and self-esteem issues.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers practical techniques to test unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviours, a method often used for anxiety, anger and mood difficulties.

Existential Therapy helps people think about values, meaning and major life choices. That approach can support those facing life transitions, questions about purpose, or deep uncertainty.

Finding the right mix is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, then suggest which approaches to try. Clients and counsellor decide together how sessions will proceed and what practical steps to attempt between meetings.

Confirm the exact online session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week. It may reduce travel, allow shorter check-ins on a break, or let people use audio rather than video if that suits them. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and short behavioural experiments to an online setting so therapeutic work continues to fit everyday life.
