About Cheryl
Cheryl supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and bipolar concerns. She also works with issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family challenges, body image worries, caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, and dissociation. She listens to each person’s story before deciding how best to proceed.
In sessions she aims to create an open, non-judgemental space where feelings and thoughts can be shared. Conversations tend to focus on understanding what matters to the person now and deciding practical next steps. Cheryl draws on her long experience in education and mental health to offer clear, compassionate support.
She encourages people to be involved in planning their work together so therapy fits into everyday life. Cheryl is willing to share relevant experience when it helps someone move forward, and she invites prospective clients to reach out if they think she might be a helpful match.
If you are considering counselling, the first meeting is used to talk about your concerns and agree what you want to work on. From there you and Cheryl plan the pace and focus together.

How client-centred counselling works online
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening without judgement and helping people find their own answers. The counsellor offers understanding, reflects what is said and helps the person decide the next steps; this approach can be useful for stress, anxiety, relationship worries and recovery from trauma.Cheryl’s background in education and mental health informs how she uses a client-centred way of working. She aims to help people feel heard and to work together on goals. Deciding which approach fits best is collaborative and happens over the first few meetings as needs and preferences become clear.
Please confirm current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel, and have shorter check-ins when time is tight. It can also help when quieter surroundings are easier to arrange or when visual or audio-only contact suits someone better. Registered or accredited professionals can help you choose a session rhythm that fits your life and goals.
