About Ceri

Ceri Westcott helps people work through stress, anxiety, relationship and parenting concerns using a person-centred, values-focused approach. She is an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has nine years' experience as a counsellor and psychotherapist.

Ceri supports people to tell and explore their stories and to build self-compassion and resilience. She uses imagery and mindfulness exercises where helpful, and works at a pace the client chooses. Her practice aims to help clients live in line with their values and manage life changes more clearly.

She regularly works with issues such as compassion fatigue, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and career worries. There is also experience helping with caregiver stress, domestic violence, fatherhood issues, postpartum depression and pregnancy and childbirth concerns.

Ceri draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to focus on values and meaningful action, and on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings and behaviour. Client-Centred Therapy guides her listening, and mindfulness practices are used to support emotional regulation and presence.

Sessions are in English and provided from the United Kingdom. International clients are not currently accepted. Costs vary with location and sessions run on a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, users select the Talk to a counsellor online button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.

How Ceri uses therapy approaches in online sessions

Ceri commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Mindfulness Therapy in her work. ACT focuses on identifying values and taking meaningful action, helping people handle difficult thoughts and feelings while moving towards what matters to them. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, which can help with stress and anxiety.

She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy ideas to look at how early and current relationships affect mood and behaviour. That approach can be useful for relationship concerns and for understanding patterns that repeat in adult life. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process; the counsellor will work with each client to find the best fit for their goals and preferences.

Practical benefits of online working include fitting sessions around work, childcare or other commitments, and avoiding travel time. If you need details on session types, please confirm the current options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises such as imagery, mindfulness practice and values work to suit remote sessions, helping clients carry tools into everyday life.
