About Cheryl
Cheryl Hunton is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She works with adults on a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief, parenting and blended family issues.
Cheryl uses a client-centred approach as her main framework. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas and cognitive behavioural therapy techniques to help people notice patterns and try practical changes. Sessions focus on what the person wants to work on and on small steps that can be tried between meetings.
Clients can expect straightforward conversation about feelings, relationships and practical pressures. Cheryl talks through coping strategies, looks at how past experiences affect current choices, and practices simple CBT exercises when helpful. She pays attention to how attachment and abandonment concerns can show up in adult relationships.
When family roles change, routines merge, or new parenting arrangements feel hard, Cheryl helps people sort priorities and set boundaries. She also supports those managing long-term health conditions, caring responsibilities, and workplace stress. The emphasis is on clear, manageable actions rather than lengthy theory.
Cheryl offers sessions in English and works from principles that respect each person's pace and preferences. To begin, clients follow the site process to complete a short questionnaire and book a first session.
How her therapeutic approaches work online
Client-centred therapy places the person's concerns and goals at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens without judging, reflects what is said, and helps the client decide what to focus on next. This method is useful for people needing space to think through relationship shifts, parenting roles or feelings after separation.Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviours. It uses short exercises and between-session tasks to build practical skills for anxiety, low mood and stress. People often use CBT techniques to change how they cope with triggers at home or at work.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and together they will agree which methods to try. That collaborative process helps fit the approach to the person's day-to-day life and aims.
Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue with counselling when routines or locations change.
