About Cheryl
Cheryl Mcgann is a counsellor with more than 15 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She holds NCPS and works with people who are coping with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. Cheryl speaks English and offers a direct, respectful way of working that focuses on practical steps.
She aims to make the first conversations straightforward and easy to manage for someone feeling overwhelmed.
Background and approach
Cheryl adapts sessions to each person’s needs rather than using the same plan for everyone. She helps clients talk through feelings tied to abandonment, attachment issues and communication problems. She also supports people facing caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, and life transitions such as divorce or midlife change.
Her work includes addressing worries about body image, guilt and shame, impulsivity and isolation or loneliness. Cheryl also helps people consider life purpose, money worries and control issues when these affect day-to-day wellbeing. Sessions are practical and geared towards small, achievable changes.
Cheryl describes her approach as respectful and compassionate. She tailors her support to the person in front of her and prioritises clarity about goals and next steps. The counselling relationship is collaborative and focused on finding ways forward that fit daily life.
If you want to begin, a short conversation can help see if she is a good match. Cheryl welcomes questions about how she works and what to expect in early sessions.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Cheryl uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach she uses centres on problem-solving and coping skills. This method breaks worries into manageable parts and teaches small strategies to reduce anxiety and stress in daily life. It is useful for people who want concrete steps to try between sessions.Another approach emphasises exploring attachment patterns and relationship dynamics. This helps people understand why certain reactions repeat and how to try different responses in relationships. It can be helpful for those dealing with abandonment fears, communication problems or recurring relationship difficulties.
Finding the right approach happens together. Cheryl will discuss goals, preferences and how symptoms show up before suggesting techniques. That means the plan can change as you learn what works and what does not, and the client helps decide the pace and focus.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls let you use visual cues and fuller conversation, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat or text messaging suit shorter check-ins, written reflection or times when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and day-to-day commitments.
