Ceri Westcott, BACP

Ceri Westcott is a fully qualified counsellor and psychotherapist and an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). With nine years of clinical experience, she specialises in working with young people and parents, helping them navigate life transitions and relationship challenges.

She creates a supportive space where clients are invited to tell and explore their stories, building self-compassion and practical resilience so they can live in closer alignment with their own values. Her approach blends thoughtful listening with collaborative goal-setting, encouraging each person to move at their own pace.

Ceri often works creatively, incorporating imagery and mindfulness practices when those methods suit a client. She is mindful that not every technique fits every person, so the client guides the direction of therapy while she offers tools and insight to support change and personal growth.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify what matters to them and take practical steps toward those values. It combines acceptance of difficult thoughts and feelings with committed action to support meaningful life changes, which can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and navigating life transitions.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and awareness practices that reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation. These techniques can support resilience, self-compassion, and coping with ongoing stress or overwhelm.

Ceri also draws on client-centered principles that prioritize the client’s perspective and pace. This means the therapist listens deeply and offers empathy and reflection, helping people find their own solutions rather than imposing a fixed plan.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is done collaboratively. Ceri will work with each client to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, remove travel barriers, and allow continuity of care across different circumstances.
