About Cheryl

She also supports people dealing with parenting pressures, anger, career worries, ADHD and compassion fatigue.

Cheryl is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She draws on five years of clinical experience to guide conversations and shape practical next steps.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on what is happening now and what small changes could make life easier. Her way of working mixes listening with structured tools. She uses client-centred conversations so people can steer the pace and focus.
Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviours in daily life. Motivational interviewing helps when change feels difficult or motivation is low. Trauma-focused methods are used sensitively to help people process painful events at a pace they can manage.
Cheryl aims to balance emotional work with practical skills for coping. People leaving sessions should have clearer ideas about what to try between meetings. Cheryl encourages realistic goals, simple strategies for managing stress and steps towards steadier routines.

How Cheryl works online
Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and tests small changes in daily life. In remote sessions this can mean setting practical, short tasks to try between meetings and reviewing what worked in the next call. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression and sleep difficulties.
Cheryl will work collaboratively to find the best fit. Choosing an approach is part of the process and will depend on the client's needs, goals and preferences. The therapist checks in regularly to adjust methods and pace so the work remains helpful.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online work helps fit therapy around school, work and family routines, allows shorter check-ins when needed, and reduces travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor sessions so therapeutic work fits into everyday life without asking you to rearrange everything.
