Odin Parmenter, BACP

Odin Parmenter welcomes people dealing with jealousy, relationship strain, anxiety and related concerns. He aims to create a calm, respectful space where someone can talk through what is worrying them and begin to make small changes. Odin is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and conducts his work from that professional perspective.

He uses an integrative, relational approach that adapts to each person’s needs. That means sessions focus on the relationship between the client and therapist, and on how past patterns affect current feelings and behaviour. Odin also pays attention to the body-mind link and how physical experience relates to emotions.

Practical conversation is central to his work. He helps people name difficult feelings, try new ways of relating, and practise different responses outside sessions. He draws on ideas from attachment-based therapy, client-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques and emotionally-focused methods as fits each person.

Odin has three years of professional experience and brings particular interest in themes such as abandonment, attachment issues, kink and alternative sex culture, gender dysphoria, codependency and infidelity. He also supports people with stress, ADHD, trauma, grief and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.

People can expect straightforward language and a collaborative pace. Odin aims to match the work to a person’s goals, whether that is managing jealousy, coping with life changes, or finding greater clarity about relationships and identity.

How Odin’s approaches work online

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions. Online sessions can help people notice those patterns and try more helpful ways of relating. Client-centred practice means the therapist follows the client’s pace and priorities, offering gentle reflection and acceptance to help people find their own answers. Cognitive behavioural approaches add practical tools to test thoughts and adjust behaviours, which can be rehearsed between sessions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Odin will discuss goals and preferences with each person and together decide which methods to use. That collaborative process helps make sure the sessions feel grounded in the client’s day-to-day concerns and aims.

If you are considering online therapy, check the current session options before booking. Confirm whether appointments are offered by video, phone or another format and choose what fits your routine. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so sessions suit a work break or an evening slot.
