Cheryl Fenech-Soler, BACP

Cheryl Fenech-Soler is a BACP member who works as a psychotherapist and counsellor in the United Kingdom. She welcomes people who feel overwhelmed and helps them take a first step towards change. Cheryl aims to create a calm, respectful space where someone can talk through difficult feelings and feel heard.

Her practice focuses on problems such as anxiety, stress, depression, grief and trauma. She also supports people dealing with parenting pressures, relationship and intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping difficulties, and challenges linked to ADHD and bipolar. Additional areas she addresses include body image, attachment and abandonment issues, chronic illness and caregiver strain.

Cheryl uses an integrative approach and draws on client-centred, psychodynamic and solution-focused ideas to shape sessions. That means sessions can emphasise listening and reflection, examine personal patterns from the past, or focus on practical steps and short-term goals depending on what helps most.

Sessions are tailored to each person’s needs and pace. Cheryl aims to help people gain clarity, build coping skills and move forward with greater confidence. She works with adults and also supports children, offering different ways of relating that suit each age.

Cheryl has eight years of clinical experience and is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She accepts international clients and runs her practice from the United Kingdom. If someone is unsure whether therapy is the right next step, she encourages an initial contact to discuss concerns and what to expect.

How Cheryl's approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy places the client's experience at the heart of sessions. The therapist listens carefully, reflects what is said and follows the person’s lead to build understanding and emotional support. This approach helps people who need acceptance and a space to make sense of their feelings.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that come from past relationships and early life. It can help when someone notices repeating behaviours or difficulties that seem rooted in earlier experiences. Talking these through can bring new insight and reduce unhelpful patterns.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical steps and short-term goals. It is useful when someone wants to make specific changes quickly and build on strengths and small successes.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. Cheryl will discuss options and tailor sessions around the client’s goals and preferences. That collaboration helps shape whether the focus is reflective, exploratory or action-oriented.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also be easier to maintain regular meetings across different locations. Registered or accredited professionals can explain practical arrangements and help match a style that suits your needs.
