About Cheryl

Cheryl Hunton is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people manage stress, anxiety and low self-esteem. She works with clients around grief, anger, parenting pressures and life changes. Cheryl also supports people dealing with relationship strain, trauma and compassion fatigue. She lists Men's wellbeing among her areas of focus and has five years of professional experience.

Cheryl works mainly from a Client-Centred approach, using techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and psychodynamic ideas to suit each person. Sessions are intended to be warm and non-judgemental, with space to talk through what is happening and how it feels. Her style aims to help people notice patterns, try small changes and build confidence over time.

She describes her practice as pluralistic, drawing on more than one way of working to match what a person needs. That can mean focusing on practical steps one week and looking at past experiences the next. The mixture helps with everyday stresses, mood changes and problems with communication.

Cheryl supports people facing practical life stresses such as work pressure, caring responsibilities, chronic health concerns and parenting strain. She also offers help with attachment and abandonment worries, body image, and challenges linked to autism and Asperger syndrome.

Her BACP credential is listed as part of her professional details. For people in the UK who prefer to speak English, Cheryl provides her service in that language. To begin, clients follow the site process to connect and arrange a session.

How Cheryl uses different therapeutic approaches online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following what matters most to the person. It helps when someone needs a caring space to make sense of feelings and choices.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact. It offers practical steps and small experiments to change unhelpful patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Cheryl will discuss goals, preferences and what feels helpful, and then try methods that suit the person. This is a collaborative process and can change as needs do.

If you are thinking about online therapy, check which session options are offered before booking. The site process asks you to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability. Many people find remote therapy easier to fit around work and caring duties, and it can make regular appointments simpler to keep. Confirm the specific session formats with the therapist when you arrange your first meeting.
