About Cheryl
Cheryl Hunton helps adults who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem or big life changes. She is Cheryl Hunton, a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She writes plainly and offers a calm, steady presence for people who need space to talk things through.
Cheryl mainly uses a client-centred approach, which means sessions focus on the person in front of her and what matters most to them.
Background and approach
She also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to look at unhelpful thinking and psychodynamic ideas to think about patterns from the past. This mix lets her adjust to each person's needs rather than using one fixed method. In sessions she aims to create a warm, non-judgemental environment where people can explore stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, parenting worries, career concerns and more.
She works with issues such as trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, ADHD, attachment and abandonment, and the stresses of caregiving and chronic illness. Cheryl describes practical steps alongside listening. That can mean noticing thinking patterns, trying small experiments between meetings, or working slowly through difficult memories and feelings.
The focus is on real change that fits everyday life. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions according to the therapist's schedule. The service uses a cancellable subscription for sessions and pricing varies by location and availability.

How Cheryl works online
Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. It often uses practical exercises and small behavioural steps to reduce anxiety, manage mood and tackle unhelpful patterns.
Psychodynamic ideas help identify recurring patterns that come from past relationships and life events. This can be useful for people who want to understand why they react in certain ways and to make deeper changes.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences and everyday reality. That conversation helps shape what happens in sessions and what is practised between meetings.
The practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions around work or family routines and avoiding travel time. Because the biography does not specify session formats, confirm the available formats before booking. Registered or accredited professionals like this counsellor can use online work to maintain continuity of care and to focus on practical skills, thinking exercises and talking therapies that fit into busy lives.
