About Cheryl
Cheryl Hunton is a BACP counsellor practising 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, relationship difficulties and coping with life changes. Cheryl also supports people facing parenting strains, compassion fatigue, ADHD-related concerns and career challenges.
Cheryl tends to use a client-centred way of working. That means conversations are led by the person in the room while the counsellor offers reflection and practical thinking. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences shape current feelings and on cognitive behavioural techniques to try out clearer thinking and small behaviour changes.
Sessions are focused on what feels most useful right now. Cheryl says she listens for patterns that make day-to-day life harder, then tries simple, realistic steps to alter them. She will also help people work through strong emotions like anger, grief or overwhelm so those feelings become easier to manage.
Her practice covers a broad range of concerns often linked to relationships and family life, including attachment and abandonment issues, blended family adjustments, divorce and separation, and domestic violence. Other areas she supports include body image, chronic illness and caregiver stress.
Cheryl works in English and does not accept international clients. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and book an initial session through the online options provided.
Approach in online counselling and how it works
Cheryl uses client-centred work and cognitive behavioural techniques in straightforward ways. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflection so the person leads the topics and feels heard; this suits people who need space to talk through decisions, identity and relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical steps and experiments to test new ways of coping with anxiety, low mood or stress.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Cheryl will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences. She checks in about what is helping and adapts the style so sessions stay useful and relevant.
The biography does not list which online session formats are offered, so please confirm options before booking. Online work can help fit counselling into a busy life by reducing travel time, making it easier to schedule sessions around study or work, and allowing shorter check-ins when people need them. Therapists often use practical exercises and brief between-session tasks that suit video or phone conversations, and Cheryl can discuss which arrangements best fit someone’s routine.
