About Parie
Parie 'Parinaz' Reed is a counsellor who focuses on anxiety, stress and mood concerns. She writes plainly and works to make sessions feel practical and approachable. Parinaz aims to create a calm place to talk and to build ways forward that fit each person.
She has four years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Her work covers common struggles such as anxiety, panic attacks, depression and low self-esteem.
Background and approach
She also supports people who face relationship strain, workplace stress and the effects of past abuse. Sessions are shaped around what the person needs. Parinaz listens for patterns that fuel worry and stress, and she helps people notice unhelpful habits.
Together they practise coping techniques and build clearer ways to communicate and set boundaries. She pays attention to attachment and abandonment issues, body image, and difficulties with control or perfectionism. Practical steps might include short exercises between sessions and gradual exposure for social anxiety or panic where appropriate.
Parinaz works with people on parenting stress, divorce and separation worries, and life-purpose questions. Her approach balances empathy with straightforward tools that can be used day to day. People can expect a respectful, sensitive style and a plan tailored to their goals.
Parinaz encourages small, steady changes rather than quick fixes, and she supports clients through each stage of their progress.
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Parinaz uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on reducing anxiety and improving mood. One common approach involves gradual exposure and skills practice to lower panic and social anxiety symptoms. This helps people face feared situations in small steps while building confidence.Another approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and replacing them with more balanced thinking. This practical work aims to reduce worry and improve day-to-day functioning by teaching simple exercises and behavioural tasks to practise between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Parinaz will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit the person's needs, goals and preferences. She tailors plans as progress is made and checks in regularly to adjust techniques.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different situations. Video calls are close to face-to-face contact, phone sessions need less bandwidth, and messaging or live chat can be useful for brief check-ins or when writing things out feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family or travel commitments.
