About Cheryl
Counsellor Cheryl Fenech-Soler is a BACP member with eight years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting, depression, addictions and relationship issues. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.
Cheryl begins by listening and helping people name what feels difficult. She uses methods drawn from client-centred practice to help people speak about their feelings. Sessions aim to make day-to-day problems clearer and more manageable.
Her background includes work with people affected by attachment difficulties, childhood trauma, and long-term illness. She also supports those facing career strain, body image struggles, sleeping problems and issues around intimacy. This range gives her experience with many common life problems.
Cheryl uses psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences affect present patterns. She also includes solution-focused techniques to set short-term goals and track progress. These approaches are combined in ways that focus on what each person needs in the moment.
Practical matters are part of her offering. Cheryl uses conversational sessions to build understanding and practical steps. She asks about what clients want to change and helps them test new ways of coping in everyday life.
If someone wants to start, the usual route is to use the site matching and booking process. That begins with a short questionnaire and leads to scheduling a first session. Costs vary by location and the service uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches used in online counselling
Client-centred therapy focuses on giving the person space to speak and be heard. The therapist reflects what is said and helps the client find their own solutions; this can be useful for anxiety, low mood and relationship worries.Psychodynamic therapy looks at recurring patterns that come from past experiences. It helps people understand why they repeat the same responses and can be helpful for attachment issues, childhood trauma and longstanding emotional patterns.
Solution-focused therapy concentrates on short-term goals and practical steps. It is useful when someone wants clear changes quickly, for example improving sleep, reducing stress or managing difficult interactions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try different ways of working and agree what feels most helpful. This is a collaborative process that can change as needs change.
The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit talks into a day, avoid travel and check in from quieter surroundings. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or sessions without video if that suits the person better.
