About Celia
Celia Flack is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with seven years of experience. She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression, and also works with issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns and guilt and shame.
She uses a mix of approaches rather than a single method. That means sessions can include person-centred conversation, cognitive behavioural tools, attachment-focused thinking and practical solution-focused work. Sessions also draw on existential ideas about meaning and choice when people want to explore those themes.
Celia pays attention to how early relationships and childhood experiences affect feelings now. She also notices how the body holds distress and may bring gentle somatic awareness into the session for people recovering from trauma and post-traumatic stress reactions. The aim is to help people make sense of painful feelings and find manageable steps forward.
In a meeting with her, most of the time will be spent listening and reflecting back what is happening for the client. Practical exercises and straightforward cognitive techniques are offered when they fit the person’s goals. She encourages people to notice patterns in relationships and behaviour and to test small changes between sessions.
Sessions are conducted in English and Celia accepts international clients. Her work sits within the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy framework and she offers support to adults carrying difficult emotions linked to family, health and life transitions.
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current feelings. Online sessions can use this approach to trace patterns of connection and to rehearse different responses in relationships. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what the client says so they can clarify their own priorities and values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) teaches specific strategies to notice unhelpful thoughts and try alternative behaviours, which people can practise between sessions.Choosing which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together what fits the person’s needs, goals and preferences. Sessions can mix listening, emotional exploration and concrete skill practice so the approach evolves as the work proceeds.
The practical benefit of online meetings is that they can fit into busy lives and reduce travel time. Different formats may suit different needs, so please confirm the exact session options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to arrange regular check-ins, shorter reviews during a busy week, or daytime appointments that sit around work and family commitments.
