About Ceri
Ceri Westcott is a counsellor who uses acceptance, attachment and mindfulness approaches to help people cope with stress and life changes. She holds BACP accreditation and has nine years of practice experience. Ceri offers a calm, down-to-earth way of talking through issues so people can feel steadier and clearer about next steps.
Ceri often combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with mindfulness exercises during sessions. She helps people notice what matters to them and try small, practical steps that match their values.
How Ceri works
Sessions can include guided imagery or simple mindfulness practice when that feels useful. An attachment-based perspective informs how she looks at relationship patterns and family problems. This helps uncover repeated ways of relating and find different, healthier responses.
Work may focus on improving self-esteem, handling compassion fatigue, or recovering from trauma and abuse. Ceri also supports parents and those dealing with fatherhood issues, postpartum depression, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, and caregiver stress. She takes a gentle, collaborative approach so people can set the pace and decide what to explore.
Career worries, anxiety, low mood and coping with major life transitions are part of her practice. Sessions are offered in English and are available by a range of online formats. People begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and then booking according to the therapist's schedule.
The subscription used for sessions can be cancelled at any time.

Online support options
How ACT, attachment work and mindfulness translate online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take small, value-driven steps. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at recurring patterns in relationships and helps people find new, more helpful ways of relating to others and themselves.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple practices to calm the mind and increase present-moment focus. These exercises are often used alongside ACT or attachment work to build resilience and reduce overwhelm. Together these approaches aim to make day-to-day life more manageable rather than promise quick fixes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit. That collaborative process means techniques are adjusted as progress is made and needs change.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video suits in-depth conversation and guided imagery, phone is useful when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can work for shorter check-ins or ongoing reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments, while keeping the focus on practical steps and steady progress.
