About Cheryl
Cheryl Hunton is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people manage stress, anxiety and low self-esteem. She offers practical support for depression, grief, parenting strains and relationship or family concerns. Cheryl aims to make the first step into therapy feel straightforward and respectful.
She draws primarily on a client-centred way of working, which puts the person and their experience at the heart of each session. Cheryl also uses ideas from psychodynamic thinking to explore past patterns, and cognitive behavioural therapy or CBT techniques to tackle unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.
Background and approach
This mix lets her adapt to what each person needs in the moment. Cheryl has five years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation, which is listed in her credentials. She speaks English and works with adults on a wide range of issues including trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, ADHD and chronic illness.
Her additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment concerns, blended family issues, body image, caregiver stress, communication and commitment problems. Sessions can cover short-term practical goals or longer-term emotional work. Cheryl uses simple tools such as thought records, grounding exercises and reflective conversation to help people notice change.

Practical therapy approaches for online support
Cheryl works mainly from a client-centred framework that focuses on the person's experience and what they want to achieve. This approach is about listening carefully, reflecting what matters to the client and planning sessions around their priorities.She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy or CBT, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT offers practical steps such as thought records and behaviour experiments that can help with anxiety, low mood and stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Cheryl will discuss options and try techniques in collaboration with the client, adjusting methods to fit their goals and preferences. The aim is to build a plan that feels useful and realistic.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs and situations. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can work for short check-ins or flexible scheduling. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep continuity between appointments.
