Odin Parmenter is a counsellor who helps people facing depression, anxiety and stress.
About Odin
Odin Parmenter is a counsellor who helps people facing depression, anxiety and stress. He offers a down-to-earth approach and aims to make sessions straightforward and compassionate. Odin works in English and is based in the United Kingdom.
He draws on three years of clinical experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, often called BACP. Odin focuses on practical conversations that look at relationships, identity, trauma and everyday pressures.
Background and approach
He pays attention to how someone's past attachments and current relationships shape their mood and behaviour. Odin uses a blend of approaches to suit each person. He brings client-centred listening so people feel heard, alongside attachment-based ideas that look at how early bonds affect present life.
He also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help with unhelpful thoughts and patterns. His work is intended to be collaborative. People can expect a mix of talking, noticing patterns, and trying small changes between sessions.
Odin also considers how the body and mind interact and may encourage practical activities that connect both. People often come for help with grief, addiction, sexual and relationship concerns, gender questions and everyday struggles like sleep or work stress. Odin supports those facing life changes, caregiving strain, codependency and feelings of guilt or shame.
He aims to make therapy a steady place to think things through and try new ways of coping.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Odin will work together with each person to decide which methods suit their goals, needs and preferences. That conversation can change over time as progress is made and new issues come up.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video lets people read facial expression and body language, phone can be simpler if bandwidth is limited, short live chat or messaging can fit quick check-ins and text sessions suit people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving or travel while keeping consistent contact with a registered professional.
