About Cheryl
Cheryl Hunton is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and life changes. She offers straightforward support for depression, anger, grief and motivation. Cheryl also works with people dealing with parenting strains, workplace pressure, compassion fatigue and ADHD challenges.
Cheryl draws mainly on a Client-Centred approach. She also uses ideas from psychodynamic therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy, choosing techniques that suit each person she meets. Sessions focus on listening, helping people make sense of patterns, and trying practical steps to change thinking or behaviour.
She has five years of professional experience and holds registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That background shapes a reflective but down-to-earth style.
In sessions Cheryl aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about what matters to them. Conversations are paced to the individual and guided by their goals, whether that is managing anxiety, improving communication, or finding meaning after loss.
Her work also covers areas such as attachment and abandonment concerns, blended family issues, body image, chronic illness and caregiver stress. She blends listening with practical tools so people can build on small changes between sessions.

How Cheryl's approaches translate to online counselling
Cheryl works mainly from a Client-Centred base, which means sessions focus on listening with warmth and responding to what matters to the person. This helps when someone needs time to talk through feelings about money, work or family and to set personal goals.She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which breaks worries into thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical steps to change unhelpful patterns. CBT can be useful for anxiety about finances, stress at work or low mood that affects daily routines.
Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. Cheryl will discuss options with each person and agree together which methods to try, based on their goals and what feels most helpful. That collaborative planning can be revisited as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so prospective clients should confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins alongside therapy sessions when that helps maintain momentum. Registration with recognised bodies such as the BACP indicates the therapist meets professional standards used by many counsellors in the UK.
