Cheryl Freedman, BACP

Cheryl Freedman is a qualified person-centred counsellor based in the United Kingdom who brings four years of professional experience, including work in private practice. She is registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and integrates that professional standard into a warm, client-focused practice.

Cheryl has supported people dealing with stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, family conflicts, the effects of trauma, and depression. She also works with clients who are navigating significant life changes, helping them to identify practical ways to cope and move forward. Grounded in the belief that each person is the expert of their own story, Cheryl aims to help clients recognise and build on their existing strengths. Seeking change takes courage, and Cheryl positions herself as a supportive, empowering guide who helps people take the first steps toward a more fulfilling and balanced life.

Person-centred work and practical evidence-based techniques online

Cheryl primarily offers person-centred counselling, an approach that focuses on understanding each person’s experience and building on their own strengths to support personal growth. This style is often helpful for relationship concerns, emotional distress, and navigating life transitions because it lets the client set the pace and direction of the work.

Alongside person-centred practice, Cheryl uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that involve practical strategies and structured tools to manage symptoms such as anxiety, stress, and low mood. These techniques can include coping skills, problem-solving exercises, and goal-focused activities designed to produce tangible progress over time.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Cheryl will discuss goals, preferences, and needs with each client and adapt methods accordingly, combining reflective, exploratory work with action-oriented strategies when appropriate. Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging adds flexibility and accessibility, making it easier to fit regular sessions into busy lives, maintain continuity between meetings, and use formats that suit individual communication styles while working with a registered professional.
