About Cheryl
Cheryl Hunton is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She supports people who are anxious, stressed, low in confidence, grieving, or facing difficult life changes. Cheryl also helps with relationship strains, parenting pressures, ADHD-related concerns and trauma-related worries.
Cheryl uses a client-centred way of working that keeps each conversation focused on the person's needs and pace. She draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to notice unhelpful thinking and try small, practical changes.
Background and approach
She also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at deeper patterns that can affect feelings and relationships. Sessions are conversational and down to earth. Cheryl aims to offer a warm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through what matters to them.
She keeps language simple and explains therapeutic tools clearly so they can be used between sessions. Her practice includes support for a wide range of concerns such as anger, career stress, compassion fatigue, chronic illness, body image, attachment and abandonment issues. Cheryl’s approach is flexible and adapted to each person’s situation and goals.
With five years of professional experience, Cheryl works with adults on both short and longer term difficulties. She offers sessions online by video or phone, and also by live chat or text messaging for those who prefer written formats. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first appointment is scheduled.
How Cheryl's approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following the person's lead. It helps when someone needs a calm space to talk, to feel heard, and to make choices about what to change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect and uses practical exercises to try different responses. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and stress. Psychodynamic ideas help uncover recurring patterns from past experiences that shape current relationships and reactions, which can be useful when someone wants to understand deeper causes.Finding the right approach is a team effort. Cheryl will discuss different options and adapt methods to suit each person's goals and preferences. The first sessions often focus on what matters most and work out which tools would help moving forward.
Online therapy offers a range of formats that fit different needs. Video calls let people speak face to face from wherever they are. Phone sessions are handy when bandwidth or being on camera is an issue. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or those who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare or mobility limitations, while keeping the focus on consistent progress.
