About Cheryl

Cheryl Fenech-Soler is a counsellor with eight years of experience based in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP accreditation and offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people to talk about difficult feelings. Cheryl aims to help people get clearer about what matters to them and build practical ways to cope day to day.

She works with a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and parenting worries. Additional areas she supports include body image, attachment difficulties, chronic illness and caregiver stress, and challenges linked to ADHD and bipolar. Cheryl also lists jealousy among the concerns she addresses.

Her practice draws on client-centred work, psychodynamic ideas and solution-focused methods. Sessions typically centre on listening, exploring patterns and testing small changes that can bring relief. Cheryl adapts her way of working to suit each person rather than using one fixed method.

People can expect straightforward conversations, practical suggestions and time to reflect. Cheryl aims to help clients notice unhelpful patterns, build skills for managing emotions, and find clearer ways to move forward. She frames progress as small, steady steps rather than instant fixes.

Cheryl supports people in English and accepts international clients. To begin, clients use the continue button on this profile, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

How these approaches shape online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's own perspective. The therapist offers empathic listening and helps people find their own solutions to problems such as low self-esteem, stress or relationship worries.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that repeat over time and where those patterns might come from. It can help people make sense of difficult feelings linked to attachment, abandonment or earlier experiences that still affect relationships today.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and what a better future would look like. It is useful when someone wants quick, goal-directed work to manage anxiety, build coping skills, or address specific issues like sleep or anger.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That decision is revisited as therapy progresses so the work stays relevant and useful.

If you are considering online work, check the available session formats before booking since formats are not specified in the profile. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, save travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also give flexibility for people who cannot attend in person, but confirm the exact options offered before arranging appointments.
