About Cheryl
Cheryl Freedman is a person-centred counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She has four years of professional experience and works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship struggles.

She concentrates on everyday concerns such as coping with life changes and family conflict. Cheryl also supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment issues, and challenges linked to adoption and foster care.
Background and approach
Other areas she addresses include body image, codependency and communication problems. Cheryl brings a straightforward, respectful style to sessions. She treats each person as an expert in their own story and focuses on what the person wants to change.
Sessions are practical and paced to the individual, with an emphasis on building confidence to manage difficulties outside the room. Her background includes independent practice work alongside other professional settings over four years. Cheryl uses person-centred principles to create a calm space for people to talk and reflect.
She draws on this steady approach when people are coping with chronic illness, caregiver stress or major life transitions. Cheryl speaks English and works with adults in the United Kingdom. She offers a range of online session formats so people can choose what fits their life.
The first step is a short matching questionnaire and scheduling to suit the client’s routine.

How person-centred work and online sessions fit together
Cheryl uses person-centred counselling, which focuses on listening, reflecting and helping people identify their own goals. This approach helps when someone wants to make practical changes, build confidence, or process family and relationship difficulties.She also works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasise clear steps and coping strategies. These methods are useful for managing stress, anxiety and mood concerns by teaching ways to recognise patterns and experiment with new responses. Together with the person-centred stance, this offers both acceptance and practical tools for day-to-day life.
Choosing a therapeutic approach is a shared process. Cheryl will talk with each client about their needs, goals and preferences and then suggest options that might suit them. The plan can be adjusted as therapy progresses to make sure it remains helpful and relevant.
Online sessions offer practical benefits for many people. Video calls enable face-to-face conversation when travel is difficult. Phone sessions can be a good shorter check-in or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging suit quick reflections, follow-ups or times when typing feels easier than talking. These options give flexibility to fit therapy around work, caregiving and other commitments.
