About Cheryl

Cheryl Hunton is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who focuses on helping parents and individuals manage stressful life changes. She has five years of professional experience and works in English. Cheryl aims to make first steps into therapy feel manageable and straightforward for worried parents who need practical support.

Cheryl draws mainly from a client-centred approach. That means she listens with curiosity and helps people identify what matters most to them.

Background and approach

She also uses techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy, which look at thoughts and behaviours, and psychodynamic ideas that consider past patterns and relationships. Sessions are designed to be warm and non-judgemental. Cheryl encourages people to talk about stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, anger and other concerns in a paced way.

She also supports people coping with parenting challenges, family problems, trauma and abuse, ADHD, compassion fatigue and life transitions. In practical terms, Cheryl works collaboratively with each client to set goals and try approaches that suit their situation. She can help people explore attachment and abandonment issues, communication and commitment concerns, blended family dynamics, body image, chronic illness or caregiving strain.

Her background includes work with a wide range of personal and interpersonal difficulties. Cheryl holds BACP and brings a straightforward, empathetic style to sessions. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then arranges sessions by appointment.

Therapy uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Online support

How Cheryl’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centred work is about listening and shaping sessions around what the person brings. In online sessions Cheryl focuses on understanding a client's priorities and building practical plans that fit everyday life. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers clear strategies for stress, anxiety and low mood. Psychodynamic ideas help people notice repeated patterns from past relationships and consider how those patterns affect current choices.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Cheryl works together with each client to test methods and decide what helps most. That collaborative attitude means goals and techniques can shift as progress is made and new needs appear.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit brief updates, reflective work between sessions or people who prefer not to use a camera. These options give flexibility to fit counselling around parenting duties, work and daily life.
