How Cheryl’s approaches translate to online therapy
Cheryl uses client-centred counselling to make the session about the person’s experience. This approach means the therapist listens and follows what matters most to the individual, helping them feel heard and accepted. It suits people who need a steady, empathetic space to talk through difficult feelings.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT offers practical exercises and short experiments that can be done between sessions to reduce anxiety or alter unhelpful habits. These tasks work well in online formats and can be reviewed together during the next meeting.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable, then adapt methods as the work progresses. Clients are invited to feedback and to shape the pace and focus of sessions.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people meet with a therapist. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions need less bandwidth, and live chat or text-based messaging can suit shorter check-ins or those who prefer not to use a camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family responsibilities and daily life while maintaining a consistent course of support.
