About Odin
Odin Parmenter offers practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or major life changes. He meets individuals who are looking for straightforward help with mood, relationships, identity questions and patterns that repeat in their lives. Odin uses clear language and a compassionate stance to make starting therapy less daunting.
He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, abbreviated as BACP. That registration means he works within an established professional framework.
Background and approach
Odin has three years of experience working in counselling settings in the United Kingdom. Odin combines approaches to suit the person in front of him rather than sticking to one method. He often draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns.
He also uses client-centred principles to keep sessions focused on the person’s priorities and pace. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used when people want concrete ways to manage anxiety, low mood or unhelpful thinking. Emotionally-focused and existential ideas help when the work turns to deep emotions, life direction or questions of meaning.
Practical matters are part of the work too. Odin offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging so people can choose what fits their life. He accepts clients from outside the UK and works in English.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions through the Start Therapy button.

Online support
Cognitive behavioural techniques offer practical tools for managing anxiety, mood and unhelpful thoughts. These methods adapt well to video or phone sessions when people want exercises, goal-setting or thought records to use between meetings.
Deciding which approach fits best is a shared process. Odin will discuss goals, habits and preferences and then agree on ways of working. The plan can shift over time as needs change and progress becomes clearer.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel and busy family life. Video calls are useful for a face-to-face feel; phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer typing, want brief daily support, or find written reflection helpful. These options give flexibility so therapy can match real-life routines and practical constraints.
