Cheri Gillings helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and recovery from addictions. She supports those struggling with self-esteem, motivation and career concerns. Cheri also offers coaching for executives and professionals and helps with relationship and grief issues.

Cheri creates a calm, non-judgemental space where people can speak openly about difficult feelings. She focuses on practical steps and small changes that fit into daily life. Sessions aim to build clarity, coping skills and forward momentum rather than only talking about problems.

Background and approach

Her work draws on approaches such as acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioural ideas and mindfulness. She also uses client-centred and solution-focused techniques to keep sessions grounded and goal oriented. This mix allows flexibility to suit different needs and temperaments.

Cheri has six years of therapeutic experience and holds BACP registration, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy credential. She practises in the United Kingdom and offers services in English. People who choose Cheri usually want clear tools to manage mood, stress or addictive behaviours, and practical support for life changes.

She aims to help clients recognise patterns, try new strategies and build more satisfying daily routines.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them and then take actions that match their values; it is often used for anxiety, depression and managing addictive urges. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviours to change mood and coping; it is useful for stress, anxiety and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cheri will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what has worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made, making therapy a collaborative process.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be a simpler option with less bandwidth, live chat is handy for quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats make therapy more flexible for work schedules, caregiving duties and people who prefer not to travel.
