Online approaches rooted in values and mindfulness

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and learn practical ways to take actions that align with those values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions where getting unstuck and moving toward meaningful goals is important. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle noticing of thoughts and feelings; it can reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation in the face of stress, trauma, or caregiving challenges. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, non-directive relationship where the therapist reflects and follows the client, helping to build self-compassion and personal insight that can improve confidence and relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Ceri works collaboratively with clients to explore which methods feel most helpful, tailoring sessions to individual needs, goals, and preferences so the work fits the person rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into busy family, work, or caregiving schedules. These options increase accessibility and help people maintain continuity of care even when life circumstances change.
