About Cheryl
Cheryl Hunton is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress and anxiety, or who struggle with low self-esteem, motivation and anger. Cheryl writes in a calm, straightforward way and aims to make first steps into counselling feel manageable for a worried parent reading on a phone.
Her practice draws on client-centred ideas, which put the person's experience at the heart of the work.
Background and approach
She also uses techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy to help people spot patterns of thinking that make problems worse. Psychodynamic perspectives are used when it helps to understand how past experiences affect current feelings and relationships. Sessions are intended to be warm and non-judgemental.
Cheryl offers a space where someone can talk about grief, loss, relationship stress, parenting pressures, trauma and other difficult topics without being rushed. The focus is practical - noticing what is happening now and finding small ways to change it. With five years' experience she has supported people with issues such as ADHD, chronic illness, attachment and communication problems.
She aims to tailor each session to the individual rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. That means working together to choose approaches that feel useful. Cheryl uses a variety of session formats including video, phone, live chat and text-based messaging.
The subscription model lets people arrange ongoing support and stop when it no longer fits their needs. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to available times.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Cheryl commonly blends client-centred work and cognitive behavioural therapy in online appointments. Client-centred counselling focuses on the person's experience and aims to create a respectful, listening space where they can talk through difficulties and identify what matters most. Cognitive behavioural therapy offers practical tools to notice and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, which can be helpful for anxiety, stress and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cheryl will discuss goals and preferences and help decide which methods to try. That choice is collaborative - she adapts techniques to suit the person's pace and comfort rather than following a strict formula.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexible options. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for in-depth sessions. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, shorter exchanges and people who express themselves better in writing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around family life, work and other commitments.
