Cheryl Hunton, BACP

Cheryl Hunton is a counsellor who helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem or life changes. She uses straightforward conversation to support people coping with grief, anger, parenting strains, career worries and ADHD-related challenges. Cheryl writes simply and offers a calm, non-judgemental space to talk through what is happening now.

Cheryl has five years of professional experience as a counsellor and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She works from a client-centred stance and also draws on psychodynamic ideas and cognitive behavioural techniques to suit each person. This blend lets her adapt to what a person needs in the moment rather than following one fixed method.

Sessions focus on understanding your everyday thoughts and habits and how these shape mood and behaviour. Conversations can look at attachment and abandonment concerns, communication problems, blended family and relationship tensions, and coping with chronic illness or caregiver stress. Cheryl can also address body image, dissociation, domestic violence and issues linked to separation or divorce.

Her approach mixes listening with practical tools. That might include trying small behaviour changes, noticing repetitive thinking patterns, and exploring early experiences that still affect you. The work aims to help people make manageable shifts, build steadier confidence, and feel clearer about next steps.

Cheryl offers counselling in English in the United Kingdom. If you would like to begin, follow the Start Therapy process on the site to complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions.

How Cheryl’s approaches translate to online counselling

Cheryl combines client-centred listening with practical techniques so online sessions can focus on the issues you find most pressing. Client-Centred Therapy means the conversation starts with what matters to you and is guided by your priorities; this helps with stress, confidence and relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, uses straightforward exercises and ways of spotting unhelpful thoughts, which can be practised between sessions to tackle anxiety and low mood.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Cheryl works collaboratively to decide which methods feel helpful and adjusts over time based on your goals and what works in day-to-day life. This means sessions can shift between talking, practical tasks and noticing patterns that keep repeating.

The practical benefits of online counselling include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and quicker access without travel time. Confirm the current session options before booking to know what formats are available. Many people find online work makes it simpler to keep continuity and bring changes into everyday routines.
