About Cheryl
Cheryl Freedman is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, family conflict, depression and coping with life changes. Cheryl also has experience with issues linked to adoption, attachment and caregiving challenges.
Cheryl uses a person-centred approach that treats each person as the expert in their own story. Sessions focus on listening, reflecting and helping people identify their strengths. Conversations aim to make choices clearer and reduce the overwhelm that often comes with big life changes.
She has worked in private practice and supported people dealing with trauma histories, chronic illness and difficulties around communication and commitment. Cheryl draws on that practical experience when people are facing separation, bereavement of roles, or shifts in family relationships.
Common themes she helps with include feelings of emptiness, trouble with boundaries, codependency, body image concerns and attachment-related anxieties. She also supports people who are navigating autism or avoidant personality traits as part of their life story.
Cheryl keeps sessions straightforward and conversational. She will help someone talk through where they are now and what small steps might make things feel more manageable.

How Cheryl’s approaches work online
Cheryl describes her practice as person-centred and draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques. Person-centred work focuses on listening, reflection and helping people make sense of their feelings; it can be helpful for anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. She also uses approaches that emphasise understanding attachment and early relationship patterns to address issues like abandonment, codependency and family of origin problems.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Cheryl will talk with the person about their needs, goals and preferences, and suggest ways of working that might suit them best. Decisions about methods and the pace of therapy are made collaboratively rather than imposed.
The original biography does not list specific online formats. Confirm the available session options before booking so you know how sessions will be held. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around study, work or caregiving by removing travel time and offering more flexible scheduling. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or sessions without video if someone prefers a lower-bandwidth option. Registered or accredited professionals offering online sessions can adapt their approach to suit the person’s day-to-day life.
