About Cheryl
Cheryl Hunton is a BACP-registered counsellor working in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief and coping with life changes. Cheryl also supports people facing parenting strain, relationship and family difficulties, and career or motivation questions.
Her day-to-day approach centres on Client-Centred Therapy, which means she listens closely and helps people name what matters to them. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and test practical changes. Elements of psychodynamic thinking inform deeper conversations about patterns from earlier life that affect the present.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and conversational. Cheryl helps people talk through what they are feeling, try small experiments between sessions, and rethink stuck patterns in relationships or work. She describes her way of working as pluralistic, blending approaches to suit each person’s concerns.
Cheryl has experience supporting people with trauma and abuse, anger, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related challenges. She also works with issues such as attachment and abandonment, body image, chronic illness and blended family stress.
Sessions are offered in English and follow the practice procedures associated with her BACP registration. International clients are not currently accepted. To begin, readers can follow the site’s matching steps to schedule a first appointment.
How Cheryl’s approaches translate to online work
Cheryl often works from a Client-Centred stance that focuses on listening and understanding what the client wants to address. This approach is about responding to the person in front of her and helping them set the pace and topics for sessions.She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and try practical changes between meetings. CBT can help with anxiety, low mood and motivation by breaking problems into manageable steps and testing new behaviours.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cheryl will discuss what feels most useful and adapt methods based on a client’s goals and preferences. The choice of techniques is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.
The therapist’s biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Some formats can work better when quiet surroundings are available, while phone sessions may use less bandwidth or be simpler on a busy day. Registered or accredited professionals often find online work helps maintain continuity of support while people manage life changes.
