About Cheryl

Cheryl Hunton is a registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience supporting both adults and children. She practises as a pluralistic counsellor, drawing primarily on a client-centered framework while integrating psychodynamic insights and cognitive behavioural techniques to tailor her support to each person’s needs. Cheryl is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK.

Her work covers a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief and loss, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, anger, career issues, and compassion fatigue. She also supports clients with ADHD, attachment and abandonment issues, blended family dynamics, body image concerns, chronic illness or pain, and other complex life changes.

Cheryl aims to offer a warm, non-judgemental space where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings, build insight, and develop coping strategies. By combining empathic listening with practical tools from CBT and reflective exploration from psychodynamic practice, she helps people identify what matters most to them and move forward at a pace that feels right. Taking the first step can feel daunting, and Cheryl acknowledges the courage in reaching out to begin therapy.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Cheryl works primarily from a client-centered perspective, which means sessions focus on creating an empathic, accepting space where clients can explore their own priorities and make sense of their experiences. This approach is often helpful for people facing life transitions, relationship difficulties, or challenges with self-esteem.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to help clients identify and gently challenge unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical coping strategies. CBT can be useful for managing anxiety, low mood, and stress by offering tools for day-to-day change.

Cheryl may draw on psychodynamic ideas to explore how past experiences and relationship patterns influence current feelings and behaviour, offering a deeper understanding of long-standing emotional difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Cheryl works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Registered professionals and therapists often combine methods in this way to tailor care to the individual.

Online therapy with Cheryl is available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options provide flexibility for people juggling work, family, or mobility constraints and make it easier to access consistent support from home or elsewhere. The digital format keeps sessions adaptable, allowing clients to choose the mode of communication that feels most comfortable for them.
