About Cheryl
Cheryl adapts each session to the person in front of her. She listens to what you bring and helps you notice patterns in thoughts, feelings and behaviours. Conversations can include practical coping ideas, boundary-setting, and ways to approach difficult decisions.
Her background includes work in GP practices, schools, women’s services and bereavement support. This has involved helping with anxiety, depression, grief, parenting skills, exam pressure and trauma. She has also supported people through issues linked to adoption, attachment, and childhood emotional neglect.
Cheryl uses a mix of counselling styles to suit the person. She draws on client-centred ways of working together with cognitive behavioural tools and narrative techniques. Motivational interviewing and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy also inform her approach when useful.
As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, Cheryl says she understands the particular pressures some people face. She has experience supporting neurodivergent clients and is mindful of sensory needs when working online. If you prefer telephone over video, she can offer that option for weekly sessions.
Her aim is practical and relational: to help people understand themselves better and make changes that fit their life. To begin, clients choose the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling sessions according to availability.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Cheryl draws on cognitive behavioural therapy and client-centred ways of working to support people online. Cognitive behavioural therapy helps you spot and test unhelpful thoughts and build new habits for stress, anxiety or low mood. Client-centred therapy focuses on being heard and understood, and it helps people develop self-acceptance and clearer boundaries.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy when it fits a client's goals. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and choose actions that match their values rather than reacting automatically. The choice of approach is collaborative; Cheryl will work with you to find what suits your needs, goals and preferences rather than imposing a single method.
Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and keeping continuity when travel is difficult. Online sessions can make it easier to attend a shorter check-in during a lunch break or to use telephone sessions when video is not suitable. Confirm the exact session options available before booking so you can plan what best fits your routine.
