About Cheryl
Cheryl Fenech-Soler is a BACP counsellor with eight years of practice. She welcomes readers who feel unsure about starting therapy and aims to make that first step straightforward and gentle. She creates a calm space where people can talk without judgement.
Sessions focus on listening first, then working together to find practical ways forward. The aim is clearer thinking, better coping, and everyday tools to manage emotions. Cheryl adapts therapy to each person’s needs rather than using one fixed method.
Background and approach
She uses client-centred work to follow what matters most to the client. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences shape current feelings, and solution-focused techniques to set small, realistic goals. Her background includes supporting people with grief, attachment difficulties, childhood trauma, anxiety and depression.
Cheryl also helps with issues such as stress, parenting concerns, relationship and intimacy questions, eating and sleeping problems, and managing addictive patterns. Cheryl works with adults and children and describes her style as compassionate and tailored. She aims to help clients build confidence and make steady progress at their own pace.
If you are unsure whether therapy will help, she encourages a short conversation to see if it feels like the right fit.

How Cheryl works online
Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past experiences and relationships can influence present behaviour and emotions. This approach is useful for unpacking recurring patterns, attachment concerns and long-standing issues that affect day-to-day life.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable steps and on what is already working. It suits people who want quick, practical goals and clearer next steps between sessions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Cheryl will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their needs, goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made.
The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy life and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to have shorter check-ins, to schedule during a lunch break, or to avoid needing to be on camera for every meeting. The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking.
