About Ceri

Ceri Westcott is a counsellor, BACP, with nine years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, family and parenting concerns, and uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy and mindfulness in her work.

Ceri helps people tell and explore their stories and make sense of difficult moments. She supports development of self-compassion and practical resilience so people can act in line with their own values. Sessions may draw on imagery and mindfulness exercises when useful.

Her way of working is collaborative. Ceri invites clients to shape the pace and style of sessions. She uses straightforward conversation alongside experiential practices rather than lengthy theory explanations.

Ceri has particular experience supporting issues connected to caregiving and compassion fatigue, pregnancy and childbirth, postpartum mood changes, domestic violence and fatherhood-related concerns. She also helps with career stress, self-esteem and coping with life changes.

Clients can expect clear, short-term goals and practical tools to try between meetings. Ceri will work with each person to choose exercises that fit their everyday life. Where mindfulness or imagery don't suit, she adapts the approach so sessions remain relevant and manageable.

How her approaches translate to online work

Certain methods she uses adapt well to remote sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small, practical steps toward them. It helps when anxiety or life changes make decision-making and action difficult.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early experiences shape current responses. This approach can help with relationship strain, family problems and parenting challenges by increasing awareness of how people relate to others.

Finding the right fit is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to choose which approach or mix of approaches suits each person’s goals and preferences. That choice can change as work progresses and will be discussed together.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Therapists and registered or accredited professionals will discuss practical arrangements and session rhythms during the initial planning stage.
