About Odin
Odin Parmenter is a counsellor who focuses on helping people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or unsure where to turn. He offers calm, straightforward support for stress, anxiety, depression and the practical strains of daily life. Odin aims to make the first step feel a bit easier and more manageable.
Odin is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He works in an integrative way, combining relational ideas with a body-mind perspective to reflect how feelings and physical experience connect.
Background and approach
That approach helps when worries show up as tension, sleep trouble or low energy. Sessions are shaped around each person's needs and goals. He draws on client-centred listening, attachment-based thinking, cognitive behavioural tools and emotionally-focused ideas when they fit the situation.
The focus is on practical changes you can try between sessions as well as clearer moments in conversation. Odin has three years of practice experience and has supported people with trauma, neurodiversity, sexual health and identity concerns, relationship difficulties and caring or work-related stress. He also works with issues such as grief, compulsive behaviours, codependency and questions about life purpose.
People meet him for short-term practical work or longer conversations about identity and meaning. He encourages honest talk about what matters to you and helps set realistic steps forward. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Online support
How his approaches translate to online therapy
Odin uses Existential Therapy to help people think about meaning, choice and what matters to them; this approach is useful for life changes, questions about purpose and when anxiety feels tied to broader meaning. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to look at how past relationships shape current patterns and emotional needs, which can help with closeness, trust and relationship difficulties. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on warm, non-judgemental listening and helps people find their own solutions by being heard and understood.Deciding which approach fits best is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through your concerns and goals, try different ways of working early on, and adjust the focus as you learn what helps. Therapy is shaped by your preferences and the practical changes you want to make.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video lets you see visual cues and have a fuller conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can work for brief check-ins or when a shorter contact is needed. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to keep continuity when travelling or living abroad.
