Cheryl Hunton welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or low self esteem. She is described as a BACP counsellor with five years of practice in the United Kingdom. Cheryl talks simply and directly, aiming to make the first step feel less daunting for those who are worried about reaching out.

She uses a client-centred way of working that keeps the person’s concerns at the heart of sessions.

Background and approach

Cheryl also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try small changes. She uses psychodynamic ideas too, where looking at patterns from the past can explain how current problems show up. Sessions are designed to be practical and conversational.

Cheryl offers time to talk through immediate problems such as work stress, grief, relationship strain and changes in life. She also supports people coping with trauma, chronic illness and issues around identity and attachment. Her practice covers both short-term focused work and longer conversations if that is helpful.

Cheryl can adapt approaches to suit someone who wants practical tools, emotional processing, or a mix of both. She aims for clarity about goals and steady progress. Cheryl works in English and provides sessions using a range of online formats.

To start, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and then books sessions according to the therapist's schedule. The practical steps are kept straightforward to reduce extra worry.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy is about listening and following what matters most to the person. The therapist offers empathy and space so the person can focus on their thoughts and feelings and decide what they want to work on. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and introduces simple experiments and techniques to change them. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood and stress.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Cheryl will talk with people about their goals, preferences and what feels useful, then agree a plan together. That collaborative process helps make sure sessions stay relevant and practical as needs change.

Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. Video calls let people see facial cues and use visual tools, phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging suits shorter check-ins or days when typing feels easier. These formats increase flexibility and make it straightforward to keep therapy going across the week.
