How Cheryl’s approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy places the person and their experience at the centre of the work. The counsellor listens closely, follows the person's lead and helps them make sense of feelings. This approach suits issues such as low self-esteem, grief and relationship concerns where being heard matters.Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past relationships and patterns affect current life. It can help when people notice repeating problems, attachment issues or unresolved childhood experiences. Sessions invite reflection on long-standing patterns to open up new ways of relating to oneself and others.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps that move things forward. It is useful for short-term goals like managing stress, improving sleep or finding ways to cope with parenting demands. The focus is on what is already working and how to build on it.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Cheryl will discuss options and help decide which style or combination fits the person's needs, goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as priorities shift.
Online sessions via video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging make it easier to fit counselling around busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or suit lower bandwidth; messaging and live chat make it possible to check in between calls or to work without being on camera. These formats increase flexibility and make regular, ongoing support more achievable for many people.
