About Celia
Celia Flack offers a warm, person-centred approach that puts the client at the centre of the work. She combines practical talking techniques with attention to how the body holds experience. Sessions focus on what a person needs now and on small steps that build change over time.
Celia is a BACP counsellor with seven years' overall experience and several years in independent practice. She helps people facing stress, anxiety and depression.
How Celia works
She also supports those working through trauma and abuse and people struggling with self-esteem and confidence. Her way of working is adaptable. She uses attachment-based ideas to understand relationships and CBT methods to tackle unhelpful thoughts and patterns.
She also draws on solution-focused and existential thinking to help people find meaning and set realistic goals. Celia pays attention to early life experiences and how they affect present-day responses. She will listen without judgement and aim to create a steady, compassionate space where people can talk through painful memories and current problems.
Practical coping strategies are offered alongside longer-term reflection. Typical concerns she addresses include abandonment, attachment issues, communication and control problems, dissociation, and struggles with guilt or shame. She also works with blended family issues, fatherhood concerns, chronic illness and caregiver stress, and the emotional impact of cancer.
People who meet with Celia can expect collaborative sessions that balance empathy with practical tools. She helps clients identify small, manageable changes and supports them as they try new ways of coping.

How Celia's approaches work online
Celia uses attachment-based ideas to understand how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach looks at how people form bonds and helps them notice and change repeating behaviours that cause pain. It can be useful for worries about trust, abandonment and relationship responses.She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT offers practical strategies for managing anxiety, low mood and unhelpful thinking. Sessions often include simple exercises and between-session tasks to try out new ways of thinking and behaving.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and tailor methods to a person's needs, goals and preferences. That collaboration means the plan can change as progress is made and different techniques are tested.
Online sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is good for a face-to-face feel and fuller conversation. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Messaging and live chat let people keep a running conversation and fit therapy around busy days. These options improve flexibility and make it simpler to sustain regular contact with a therapist.
