Cheryl Hunton, BACP

Cheryl Hunton is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and the strains of life change. She meets people where they are and works to build a trusting therapeutic relationship. Cheryl uses a warm, non-judgemental manner to help clients talk through difficult feelings and decisions.

She trained and practises as a BACP counsellor. Over five years she has supported people with grief, anger, relationship concerns, parenting stress and career worries. She also addresses trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue and attention difficulties such as ADHD. Cheryl names additional focus areas including attachment and abandonment issues, body image, chronic illness and blended family problems.

In sessions she works mainly from a client-centred stance. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas and cognitive behavioural techniques to tailor help to each person. That mix allows conversations about past patterns alongside practical steps to manage thoughts and behaviour.

Cheryl aims to offer a calm place where someone can pause and look at what matters. She encourages small, manageable changes and offers direct tools as well as space to reflect. Her approach balances emotional understanding with straightforward problem-solving.

To begin, people use the platform’s Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule according to the therapist’s availability. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not accepted.

How Cheryl’s approaches translate to online work

Cheryl uses a client-centred approach that focuses on the person in front of her and what they say is most important. This way of working means conversations are led by the client and the therapist reflects back what she hears to help make sense of feelings and choices. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, adds practical techniques to that listening. CBT supports people to spot unhelpful thought patterns and try small behavioural experiments to change how they feel.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Cheryl will work collaboratively to decide which mix of listening, exploration and practical tools best fits a person’s goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as needs evolve.

The original biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around everyday life, for example by removing travel time or allowing a shorter check-in during a lunch break. It can also suit people who prefer to speak without being on camera or who need a lower-bandwidth option. Registered or accredited professionals aim to adapt their methods so sessions remain practical and focused, whether the emphasis is reflection, skill-building or both.
