About Cherith
Cherith McIlroy is a counsellor who works with people feeling overwhelmed by stress and anxiety. She gives calm, steady support and listens with care. Her approach is relationship-focused and aimed at helping people feel understood and less alone.
She has three years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation, which indicates registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Cherith meets clients where they are and focuses on practical steps as well as exploring underlying feelings.
Background and approach
In sessions she helps with common concerns such as low self-esteem, depression, grief, sleep problems and difficulty coping with life changes. She also supports people affected by trauma, panic and family conflict, and addresses issues like abandonment, attachment and caregiving stress. Cherith draws on client-centred work to create a warm, non-judgemental space where clients set the pace.
She also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, and psychodynamic ways of looking at patterns that started earlier in life. Her goal is to help people build insight and practical coping strategies. Therapy is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.
Cherith encourages use of personal strengths so clients can move toward clearer choices and steadier daily routines.
How Cherith’s approaches work online
Cherith uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps when someone feels stuck by trust issues, abandonment fears or repeating relationship problems. It focuses on understanding emotions and how they show up in close connections.She also draws on client-centred counselling, which puts the person’s pace and priorities first. Sessions in this style are nondirective and warm, helping people feel heard as they make sense of their experience. Cognitive behavioural ideas are used as well to spot unhelpful thinking and try small, practical experiments to change behaviours and improve mood.
Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. Cherith will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to focus on insight, practical coping skills or both, and adapt the plan over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions suit shorter check-ins or lower bandwidth, and messaging or chat can help people fit therapy around a busy day or process thoughts between sessions. These options aim to make it easier to sustain consistent work and access support from wherever the client is located.
