About Cheryl

Cheryl Hunton is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety and life changes. She focuses on issues like low self-esteem, anger, grief and motivation. Cheryl uses plain language and a calm manner so conversations feel straightforward and practical.

She draws mainly from a Client-Centred approach and also uses techniques from Psychodynamic work and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). That mix lets her adapt conversations to each person’s needs and preferences. Sessions are shaped around what a person wants to tackle and how they prefer to work.

Cheryl holds BACP registration, which is noted as her professional credential. She has five years of professional experience and brings that background into everyday conversations about mental health. Her practice covers a broad range of concerns, including parenting, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, and ADHD-related challenges.

In sessions Cheryl aims to offer a warm, non-judgemental space to talk through what is worrying someone. She encourages practical steps as well as reflection, helping people try new ways of coping and noticing what changes. Cheryl invites people to be proud of themselves for seeking support and to set the pace that suits them.

To begin, the typical process involves completing a short matching questionnaire and then arranging sessions according to availability. The ongoing arrangement of sessions uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How Cheryl blends approaches for online counselling

Cheryl commonly draws on Client-Centred work and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy during sessions. Client-Centred therapy focuses on listening and following what the person needs most, which helps people feel heard and decide their next steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) uses practical techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviours, which can help with anxiety, low mood and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Cheryl will work together with each person to decide which methods fit best for their goals and day-to-day life. That means experimenting with gentle CBT tasks, reflective conversations or simply using a listening space until clearer steps emerge.

If you are considering online work, please confirm the available session formats before booking as the therapist’s biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into busy lives, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people choose a setup that suits them, such as using audio only for lower bandwidth or video for face-to-face style conversations.
