About Cheryl

Cheryl Hunton is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of experience. She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, anger, grief and life changes. Cheryl also supports people facing relationship strains, parenting challenges, career concerns and compassion fatigue.

Cheryl uses a client-centred approach as her core way of working. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas and cognitive behavioural techniques. That mix helps her balance close listening with practical steps people can try between sessions.

In sessions she focuses on what the person brings in the room. Conversations tend to look at how past patterns influence present reactions and at small behaviour changes that reduce distress. She encourages clear goals and short-term strategies when they help, alongside space to reflect on deeper issues.

Cheryl has experience working with neurodiversity concerns such as autism and Asperger syndrome, and with trauma, domestic violence and abandonment issues. She also addresses chronic illness, caregiver stress and body image struggles.

Her approach suits people who want straightforward, conversational counselling that balances emotional exploration with practical tools. To begin, clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

How Cheryl applies therapy approaches online

Cheryl uses client-centred work to focus on the person in front of her. That means listening closely to what matters most and following the client’s lead to set priorities. This approach helps when anger feels tied to relationships or self-worth.

She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical changes. CBT-style steps can be useful for managing anger at work or reducing quick flare-ups through paced breathing, thought checking and behaviour experiments.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Cheryl aims to agree on practical goals with each person and to review what helps as therapy progresses. She approaches this as a collaborative effort, matching methods to the client’s needs and preferences rather than imposing a single programme.

The therapist’s biography does not list specific online or in-person formats, so please confirm available session types before booking. Many people find remote sessions fit their daily life better by cutting travel, allowing shorter check-ins or making it easier to schedule around work. Registered or accredited professionals can offer different options; check the current session list to see what works best for you.
