About Ceri

Ceri Westcott is a counsellor with nine years of experience who draws on person-centred care and mindfulness to help people through stress and trauma. She uses practical, down-to-earth conversation alongside exercises that promote self-compassion and clearer choices. Ceri keeps sessions calm and straightforward so people can talk about painful events without feeling overwhelmed.

Her work centres on helping people handle anxiety, relationship strain, family and parenting pressures, and the impact of abuse or trauma.

Background and approach

She often uses mindfulness exercises to slow the body and mind, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) ideas to help people focus on what matters most to them. Attachment-based perspectives inform how she looks at relationship patterns and emotional connections. Ceri favours a collaborative style.

She listens first, then offers ways to try new responses. Imagery and guided practices may be used, but she adapts to what feels right for each person. Sessions aim to build resilience and practical coping skills rather than rely on jargon.

She has a BACP credential, which is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and works from the United Kingdom. Sessions are offered in English and are suited to people wanting thoughtful, steady support when facing life changes or distress. People who reach out can expect a gentle, structured approach that balances talking with short experiential tasks.

Ceri encourages clients to move at their own pace while exploring values, boundaries and day-to-day steps that make life more manageable.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings while taking action that matches their values. In practice this might mean identifying what matters to someone and trying small steps towards those goals despite anxiety. Mindfulness Therapy teaches short, simple practices to calm the body and focus attention; these can help with stress, overwhelm and managing traumatic memories.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will help clients decide which methods suit their needs and preferences. That decision is made together, reviewing what helps during early sessions and adjusting plans as things change.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls recreate a conversation with visual cues, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a busy day, live chat works for quicker check-ins, and messaging lets people reflect between sessions. These options offer flexibility and make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments.
