About Odin
Odin Parmenter is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. He works with issues linked to trauma, neurodiversity, LGBT+ experiences and identity, and a wide range of life changes. Odin emphasises respect, sensitivity and a calm presence to make difficult conversations easier to start.
Odin uses a mix of approaches to suit each person. He brings a body-mind, or somatic, focus alongside attachment-based and client-centred ways of working.
Background and approach
In practice this means noticing how feelings show up in the body, exploring patterns from early relationships, and following what each person brings to the room. Sessions are practical and conversational. Clients might track physical sensations, try simple grounding exercises, and talk through relationship or identity concerns.
The aim is to help people feel more able to manage cravings, mood shifts, stress or dissociation in daily life. Odin is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He has three years' experience working with diverse communities in the United Kingdom and accepts international clients.
He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different needs. People who want to begin are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions. Odin focuses on building trust and on practical steps that fit each person's goals and pace.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Somatic-informed work focuses on the body-mind connection and how emotions appear as physical sensations. Online sessions may include guided attention to breathing, posture and simple grounding practices to help people notice and regulate those sensations.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns formed in early relationships and how they show up now. It helps with relationship issues, trust, abandonment fears and long-standing connection problems by mapping patterns and trying new ways of relating in the therapeutic space.
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of the work. The therapist follows the individual's pace, reflects what is said, and helps people find their own answers rather than prescribing solutions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be a collaborative decision. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their needs, goals and preferences and may combine elements from different approaches as therapy unfolds.
Online sessions give practical flexibility through video calls, phone work, live chat or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel, and allow people to try different ways of communicating until they find what feels most comfortable.
