Cheryl Hunton, BACP

Cheryl Hunton is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people manage stress, anxiety and low self-esteem. She also supports people coping with grief, anger, relationship and family difficulties, and life changes. Cheryl writes in a direct, calm way and aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable.

Cheryl draws mainly on a Client-Centred approach, and also uses techniques from Psychodynamic therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). That mix lets her adapt sessions to what each person needs. She offers a warm, non-judgemental space to talk through what is happening and what matters most to the client.

In sessions Cheryl listens for patterns in feelings, thoughts and behaviour. She helps people name difficult experiences and try small practical changes where useful. She also works with longer-term themes such as attachment, abandonment and family role dynamics when these come up.

Cheryl has five years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation. Her practice includes supporting people affected by trauma, chronic pain, illness and disability, ADHD and caregiver stress among other concerns. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not currently accepted.

Getting started involves selecting the Start Therapy button, completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to therapist availability. Costs vary by location and availability and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How Cheryl's approaches work in online counselling

Cheryl commonly uses Client-Centred work and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) in her practice. Client-Centred therapy focuses on listening closely and reflecting back what the person says so they can find their own direction and make sense of feelings. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavioural experiments to shift mood and coping in everyday life.

Finding the right combination of approaches is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the person to agree which methods to try, adjusting the balance between listening, exploring past patterns and using practical techniques according to needs and goals.

Please confirm current session options before booking as formats are not specified in the profile. Online therapy can make sessions easier to fit into a day and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins, make regular appointments simpler around work or caring commitments, and let people use an approach consistently from wherever they are located within the United Kingdom.
