About Ceri
Ceri Westcott offers a gentle, values-led approach to therapy that draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness. She is introduced here as a counsellor with nine years of experience and a BACP accreditation. Ceri aims to help people build self-compassion, resilience and clearer direction when life feels overwhelming.
Her style is collaborative and person-centred. She invites people to tell their stories and to notice what matters most to them.
Background and approach
Sessions can include creative elements such as imagery and simple mindfulness practice, but Ceri follows each person’s pace and preferences. Ceri works with a range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship and family matters, and parenting strains. She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, low self-esteem and career or life transitions.
Additional areas of focus include caregiver stress, domestic violence, fatherhood issues, postpartum depression, pregnancy and childbirth, women’s issues and young adult challenges. Her background combines a humanistic, client-centred orientation with attachment-based thinking. That means she pays attention to how relationships shape feelings and behaviour, and to practical steps people can take to live in line with their values.
Mindfulness and ACT tools are used where they help people notice thoughts and take small purposeful actions. Ceri works in the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English. International clients are not currently accepted.

How Ceri works online
Attachment-based thinking looks at how early and current relationships shape emotions and behaviour. This approach can help people understand relationship patterns and build more helpful ways of relating.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ceri will discuss goals, preferences and what feels useful, and will adjust methods together with the person. The process is collaborative and paced to the individual’s needs.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm which formats are available before booking. Many people choose remote sessions because they can fit therapy into work breaks, avoid travel time, or use shorter check-ins when days are busy. Online work can still include mindfulness exercises, guided imagery and value-based tasks that are practical to do between sessions.
