Cheryl Fenech-Soler, BACP

Cheryl Fenech-Soler is a counsellor and psychotherapist with eight years' experience, holding BACP accreditation. She introduces herself warmly and aims to make the first contact less daunting for people feeling overwhelmed by life changes. Cheryl focuses on creating a calm space where someone can be listened to and begin to talk through what matters most to them.

Her work is flexible and tailored. Sessions are shaped around each person's needs, and she draws on different ways of working to suit the situation. That can mean looking at past patterns, focusing on present concerns, or finding small practical steps to ease pressure.

Cheryl has spent her career helping people with grief and loss, attachment issues, childhood trauma, anxiety and depression. She also supports people facing stress, parenting challenges, relationship and intimacy issues, and difficulties with sleep, eating or self-esteem. Her additional focus areas include chronic illness, caring roles, body image and challenges linked to neurodiversity.

In practice she aims to help people gain clarity and practical strategies. Conversations may cover feelings, relationships and daily routines, and include space to try new ways of coping. The pace and focus are set together so work is relevant to everyday life.

Cheryl works in the United Kingdom and speaks English. She accepts international clients, and uses professional registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy to inform her practice.

How Cheryl’s approaches work online and in sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor. It means listening closely, reflecting what is said and helping someone find their own answers. This approach is useful for people needing acceptance and a steady place to sort out feelings.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that come from past relationships and early experiences. It helps people see recurring reactions and how those link to current problems such as anxiety, attachment worries or relationship difficulties.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and what a better day would look like. It suits people who want short-term, goal-oriented work to reduce stress or improve coping in specific areas like sleep, routine or communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Cheryl will discuss goals and preferences and help choose methods that fit the person's needs. That choice is revisited as progress is made so the plan can change if something else would work better.

The profile does not state which online session formats are used, so please confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around life commitments, reduce travel time and allow more flexible scheduling. It can also mean shorter check-ins when time or quiet is limited, or conversations that focus on immediate, practical steps to manage day-to-day challenges.
