Ceri Westcott , BACP

Ceri Westcott is a fully qualified counsellor and psychotherapist and an accredited member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. With nine years of practice, she focuses on supporting young people and parents as they navigate challenging life moments and relationship dynamics.

Ceri works with clients to unfold their personal stories, encouraging exploration of thoughts and feelings while building self-compassion and inner resilience. Her practice is values-focused, helping people clarify what matters to them and make choices that align with those priorities so they can move toward a more fulfilling life.

She brings a creative, flexible approach to therapy, often integrating imagery and mindfulness exercises when helpful, and she adapts to each person’s preferences and pace. Clients lead the process and Ceri offers steady, empathic guidance to help them develop coping skills, strengthen relationships, and respond to stress, anxiety, trauma, parenting challenges, and other life transitions.

Approaches Ceri Uses and How They Work Online

Ceri commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy, offering simple, practical explanations and tools. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being overwhelmed by them, then identify personal values and take committed steps toward those values - it can be useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationship patterns shape emotional responses and connection - it supports work on relationships, parenting, family problems, and issues rooted in attachment wounds.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process rather than a fixed choice. Ceri works collaboratively with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques and pace so the work feels manageable and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - so people can choose the format that best fits their schedule and comfort. These options can make it easier to access continuous support while balancing family, work, and other commitments, and they allow therapists and licensed professionals to maintain a consistent course of treatment across sessions.
