About Cheryl

Cheryl Mcgann is a counsellor with NCPS credentialing and more than 15 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She offers a calm, respectful space for people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood, or relationship difficulties. Cheryl writes plainly and works to make the first steps feel manageable for anyone seeking change.

Her approach is practical and tailored. Sessions are shaped around each person’s needs rather than a fixed formula. She listens for the issues that matter most, whether that is worry, confidence, trauma, or problems with trust and connection. Cheryl also helps people facing life transitions, loneliness, or concerns about money and finances.

Cheryl highlights compassion and sensitivity in her work. She aims to break problems down into small, doable steps so clients can notice progress. Conversations focus on clearer communication, managing distressing thoughts, and building strengths that fit daily life.

Over 15 years Cheryl has supported people through painful experiences such as abuse, separation, and chronic health struggles. She also helps those wrestling with guilt, shame, identity, and purpose. If the issue isn’t listed she invites a short conversation to see whether she can help.

To begin, Cheryl asks people to complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to her availability. Her practice uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and sessions vary in cost depending on location and availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Cheryl describes her work as grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional understanding. One common approach she uses centres on building coping skills for anxiety and stress - learning small routines and breathing or thinking strategies to reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day functioning. Another approach focuses on attachment and relationships, helping people notice patterns in how they relate to others and practise clearer communication and boundaries.

Choosing the right way of working is a shared task. Cheryl will discuss options with each person and adapt methods to match goals and preferences. That might mean trying different techniques for a few sessions and then settling on what helps most for managing mood, relationships, or money worries.

If you are considering online work, please confirm the exact session formats before booking as the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, reduce travel time, and offer quicker check-ins when needed. Different formats can also suit different needs - for example, phone sessions may be a simpler check-in while video can allow face-to-face conversation - and Cheryl will help choose the best option for your circumstances.
