Cherine Ennis, BACP

Cherine Ennis is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach to help people work through difficult emotions. She holds BACP registration and draws on six years of experience supporting people with anxiety, depression, panic attacks and related concerns. Cherine aims to make sessions feel warm and respectful so people can speak openly about what matters to them.

She focuses on practical, down-to-earth work. That means listening first, then helping people spot patterns that keep them stuck. Cherine uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques alongside her client-centred way of working to help people test new behaviours and challenge unhelpful thinking.

People come to her with a wide range of issues, including grief, relationship struggles, intimacy-related worries and difficulties with self-esteem. She also works with concerns such as addiction, anger, eating issues, parenting stress and jealousy. Her background includes supporting people affected by loss, cultural pressures, domestic abuse and neurodiversity factors such as autism.

Cherine aims to build trust quickly so people feel comfortable trying different ways to cope. She describes her role as supportive and practical - offering steps people can take between sessions as well as space to talk during them. Her goal is to help people move from where they are now to a more manageable state.

Ongoing learning is important to Cherine. She continues to develop her skills so she can offer relevant strategies and clearer thinking to those she works with.

How Cherine’s approaches transfer to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and creating a welcoming space so people can talk about what matters to them. In practice this means the counsellor follows the person’s lead, reflects what they say and helps them feel understood. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thought patterns and small behaviour changes that can ease anxiety and low mood. CBT is often used for issues like panic attacks, anxiety, depression and unhelpful routines.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Cherine will work with each person to identify goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. She adapts the balance of person-centred listening and CBT-based activities so sessions feel relevant and practical.

The biography does not specify which remote formats are offered, so please confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins on difficult days. It can also let people choose quieter surroundings, use less bandwidth or avoid being on camera when that helps them engage. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor online sessions to practical needs while focusing on clear strategies and steady progress.
