About Cheryl

Cheryl Ennis is a counsellor who bases her work on person-centred care and practical therapeutic tools. She uses warm, respectful listening to help people talk through stress, anxiety, depression and parenting challenges. Cheryl also supports people dealing with grief, trauma, addictions and relationship worries.

She blends client-centred listening with approaches such as cognitive behavioural therapy and emotionally-focused methods to help people notice unhelpful patterns. That often means learning simple skills to calm panic, shift negative thoughts or improve communication.

Background and approach

The work is collaborative and paced to what each person needs. With nine years of experience, Cheryl has worked with a wide age range and a broad set of concerns. She draws on motivational interviewing when people need help finding inner reasons to change.

Attachment-based principles guide her when relationship patterns and intimacy issues come up. Cheryl is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. This reflects the professional standards she follows in practice.

People choose her when they want straightforward, compassionate support and practical steps to move forward. She helps clients explore life purpose, body image, guilt and shame, and coping with big changes, always aiming to build clarity and small wins. Sessions are offered in English and Cheryl accepts international clients.

Her style is calm, direct and focused on what will help someone feel steadier and more capable.

Online support

Approaches you can use in online sessions

Cheryl commonly combines person-centred work with cognitive behavioural and attachment-informed ideas. Person-centred counselling focuses on listening without judgement and helping people find their own answers, which suits those wanting a gentle, reflective space. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) offers simple tools to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, useful for anxiety, panic and low mood. Attachment-based ideas look at how early relationship patterns affect current intimacy and communication, which can help when parenting and relationship patterns feel stuck.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Cheryl will discuss goals and preferences in early sessions and suggest which methods to try. The plan can change over time as needs shift, and decisions are made collaboratively to fit what helps most.

Online therapy with Cheryl is offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make sessions flexible. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversations, phone can be lower bandwidth, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help fit counselling around work, family and travel commitments while keeping the focus on practical progress and emotional clarity.
