About Cheryl
Cheryl Hunton welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem or life changes. She introduces a calm and steady presence and helps clients talk through worry, grief, parenting strain, career doubts and other everyday pressures. Cheryl’s approach aims to make sessions straightforward and useful from the first meeting.
Cheryl trained as a BACP counsellor - British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and has five years of professional experience.
Background and approach
She draws on client-centred work, psychodynamic ideas and cognitive behavioural techniques to adapt to each person’s needs. That mix helps her respond to emotional pain as well as patterns that keep problems repeating. In practical terms Cheryl focuses on what a person wants to change.
She uses listening, reflective questions and simple tools to notice thoughts and feelings. Sessions may include exercises to try between meetings to build coping skills and confidence. Common topics Cheryl supports include stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting concerns, anger, compassion fatigue and ADHD.
She also works with related issues such as attachment concerns, body image, chronic illness and relationship problems. Sessions are offered in English and are held online using video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. To begin, people use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before booking a time that suits them.

Approaches Cheryl lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. CBT offers concrete strategies and short exercises that can be practised between sessions to reduce anxiety, manage low mood and tackle stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cheryl will discuss goals and try different ways of working until a good fit is reached. This is a collaborative process where the client’s preferences and life situation shape the plan.
Online sessions offer flexibility and accessibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that is helpful. Phone sessions can be easier when someone needs lower bandwidth or a quieter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing, want short check-ins, or need to fit therapy into a busy day.
Registered or accredited professionals can adapt these formats to keep therapy focused and practical, making it easier to build new habits and cope with everyday pressures.
