Background and approach

Ceri pays attention to personal stories and helps people put those stories into clearer perspective. Her experience includes nine years working with issues such as relationships, parenting and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people facing career pressures, low self-esteem, and big life changes.

Additional focus areas include postpartum depression, pregnancy and childbirth, fatherhood issues and young adult concerns. Clients can expect a person-centred approach that prioritises listening and collaboration. Ceri helps people notice what they value, set small practical steps, and build resilience over time.

Sessions are paced to each person's needs and preferences. She works in English and practises across a range of formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Ceri does not accept international clients.

Approaches and practical online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy or ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on clarifying what matters and taking small committed steps towards those values. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and how early connections shape current responses; it can help with relationship and parenting concerns by exploring security and trust.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss different options and choose together with the client based on needs, goals and preferences. This collaborative process means methods can be adjusted as therapy progresses to better fit the person’s rhythm and situation.

Online therapy offers practical benefits such as greater flexibility and easier access. Video calls let people see facial cues and work more like face-to-face sessions, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can suit shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging make it simple to fit therapy around work or childcare and to keep momentum between sessions. Registered or accredited professionals can use these formats to make therapy more accessible and manageable for day-to-day life.
