About Cheryl
Cheryl Fenech-Soler is a counsellor and psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom. She holds a BACP credential and has eight years of professional experience. Cheryl aims to make that first step easier for people who are feeling overwhelmed or unsure where to begin.
She creates a welcoming space where people can talk without being judged. Sessions focus on listening, building understanding, and finding small, practical steps forward. Cheryl uses an integrative style so the work is tailored to each person's needs rather than following a single method.
Her practice covers a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, grief, trauma and issues around parenting and relationships. She also helps with mood problems such as depression and bipolar, attention differences like ADHD, and practical worries around career and self-esteem.
Cheryl has worked with people dealing with past attachment wounds, childhood trauma, and loss. She draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences shape current feelings, while also using client-centred listening to keep the person and their goals central.
The aim in sessions is to build clarity and useful strategies. Cheryl supports people to understand patterns, try new responses, and strengthen emotional coping. She also accepts international clients and runs her practice in English.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps people clarify feelings and goals through empathetic, non-judgemental conversation. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how earlier life experiences influence present patterns and emotional responses, which can be useful for issues like attachment, loss and repeated relationship problems. Solution-Focused Therapy aims to identify practical steps and small changes that move a person toward their goals, often in fewer sessions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Cheryl will talk with the person about their needs and preferences, then work together to try approaches that feel helpful. If something does not fit, she will adjust the way sessions are run to better suit the individual's aims.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing sessions from different locations. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed or sessions that suit work and family schedules. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered and can pick times that work with everyday commitments.
