About Cheryl
She supports people facing depression, stress, anxiety, trauma, abuse and anger. She also helps those coping with relationship worries, low self-esteem and bipolar-related challenges. Her wider experience includes work related to autism, attachment issues, ADHD and other educational needs, and she draws on that when it is relevant to sessions.
Cheryl’s way of working centres on creating an open, non-judgemental space where thoughts and feelings can be talked through. She encourages clients to make decisions that fit what they want and need. Sessions focus on listening, reflecting and helping people identify practical next steps.
She also supports people dealing with abandonment, adoption and foster care questions, blended family concerns, body image and caregiver stress. Chronic illness, communication problems, dissociation and coping after loss or separation are further areas she can talk through with clients.
Taking the first step can feel daunting. Cheryl aims to be steady and straightforward in sessions, offering clear conversation and help to work out what might come next.
How client-centred work adapts to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a listening space where the counsellor follows the client's lead and helps them find their own solutions. This approach is about being heard, having feelings reflected back, and working together on choices that fit a person's life. It can be helpful for anxiety, stress, trauma-related concerns and relationship worries.Cheryl's broader experience in education and mental health means she can bring an understanding of autism, attachment and neurodiversity into sessions when relevant. In practice this means paying attention to how someone communicates and adapting the pace and tone of sessions to suit them.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Cheryl will work collaboratively to figure out what helps most based on your goals and preferences. She will listen to what you want to achieve and suggest ways of working that feel manageable and realistic.
