About Cheryl
Cheryl Hunton is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has five years' experience working in the United Kingdom and supports people with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and loss, anger and motivation issues, among other concerns.
Cheryl mainly works from a Client-Centred viewpoint. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques to help people notice patterns and try practical changes. Sessions are conversational and focus on what matters to the person who comes to see her.
She has worked with a broad range of issues including relationship and family problems, trauma and abuse, parenting pressures, compassion fatigue and neurodiversity topics such as autism and Asperger Syndrome. Cheryl also supports people with chronic illness, chronic pain, and caregiving strain, as well as difficulties like dissociation, commitment worries and body image concerns.
Her way of working aims to help people talk through current problems and understand how past experience affects present life. Practical CBT techniques are used alongside longer-term reflection from psychodynamic work. Mindfulness ideas are available to help with stress and grounding when that is helpful.
Cheryl offers sessions in English across the UK. She does not take international clients. To begin, prospective clients are asked to use the site matching process and book a first session via the platform.
How Cheryl uses common approaches in online counselling
Cheryl combines Client-Centred work with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques and uses mindfulness ideas when helpful. Client-Centred work means conversation focuses on the person's concerns and what they want to change. It helps with feeling heard, making sense of current problems and deciding next steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques look at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and try practical changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Mindfulness practices are short exercises to help with stress, attention and calming down.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Cheryl will look at your goals, past experience and what feels helpful, and then agree together which methods to try. That choice can change over time as priorities shift or different issues arise.
The profile does not list specific session formats here, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and keep sessions shorter when needed. Therapists and registered or accredited professionals often find that a mix of conversational reflection and practical CBT tasks transfers well to remote sessions, while mindfulness can be practised between meetings to support day-to-day coping.
