About Celia

Celia Flack is a counsellor who uses an integrative, person-centred way of working. She listens closely and brings warmth and empathy to sessions. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression and trauma, including panic-related worries.

She draws on several approaches to tailor the work to each person. That can mean practical problem-solving, looking at how early relationships shaped current reactions, or using CBT-style techniques to notice and change unhelpful thinking. Sessions focus on small, manageable steps and clearer ways to cope with symptoms as they arise.

Her practice has seven years of overall experience and she has run a private practice in the UK. That experience includes supporting people through trauma, post-traumatic reactions, attachment difficulties and issues connected to long-term illness or caregiving. She also works with concerns such as low self-esteem, relationship and communication problems, and feelings of guilt and shame.

Celia pairs listening with practical strategies. She pays attention to how the body and mind respond after difficult experiences, and she may introduce techniques that help reduce physical tension alongside talking work. The goal is to help people feel steadier and more able to manage day-to-day stressors.

People who choose to work with her can expect a collaborative process. She asks about what matters most to each person and adapts sessions to meet those goals, walking alongside them as they try different ways to cope and heal.

How these approaches translate to online counselling

Celia works from an integrative, person-centred base, and two of the approaches she uses are explained here. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps when anxiety or panic are linked to fears about being abandoned or misunderstood. Client-centred therapy focuses on empathic listening and creating a non-judgemental space where the person leads the pace and topic. It helps people feel heard and understood while they make sense of difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, offers practical steps to spot and change thinking patterns that fuel anxiety. It often includes simple exercises to try between sessions to reduce panic symptoms and build confidence.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences in early sessions and adapt techniques accordingly. This is a collaborative process where methods are tried and adjusted to fit what helps most for the person’s particular situation.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, avoid travel, or have shorter check-ins when needed. They also allow continuity when life or location changes, helping therapy to continue without interruption.
