Odin Parmenter
Compassionate counsellor for identity and connection
About Odin
Odin Parmenter is a counsellor who aims to help people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression or life changes. He works with clients who are exploring identity, relationships, grief, addiction, neurodiversity and intimacy-related issues. Odin holds BACP accreditation, which is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and brings three years of clinical experience to his practice.
He offers a calm, respectful space and focuses on understanding each person’s story.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to centre on building clearer thinking, safer emotional expression and practical steps that fit everyday life. Odin emphasises the link between mind and body and pays attention to how bodily experiences relate to feelings and behaviour. Odin uses several established approaches depending on what a person needs.
He draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape trust and connection. He also uses client-centred ways of working to keep the person’s priorities front and centre. Cognitive behavioural strategies are used when thought patterns and habits are barriers to change.
Many people consult him about relationship struggles, family of origin issues, sexual and kink-related concerns, gender dysphoria and struggles with shame or guilt. He also supports people managing caregiver stress, compassion fatigue and career concerns. Every plan is individualised to each person’s goals and situation.
Clients can expect straightforward talk, practical tools and a collaborative approach to change. Odin works with people at different stages of life and offers sessions aimed at steady progress and clearer choices.

How his approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds influence how people relate now. It helps with trust, intimacy and patterns that keep repeating in relationships. Client-centred therapy centres what matters to the individual and creates space for them to lead sessions; it supports self-understanding and self-directed change. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing small behaviour changes to reduce distress and improve daily routines.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Odin will discuss goals and preferences and together you can try methods that fit your needs. He adapts techniques as the work progresses so therapy stays relevant and practical.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful when visual cues matter, phone sessions work well if bandwidth is limited, and text or chat formats allow brief check-ins or continued reflection between longer appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and life commitments and to keep contact consistent over time.
