About Cheryl

Cheryl Hunton helps people address stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and life changes using a client-centred approach combined with psychodynamic ideas and CBT techniques. She is a BACP member and has five years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom.

Cheryl works directly with individual adults on issues such as grief, anger, relationship difficulties and career worries. She also supports people coping with trauma and abuse, ADHD, compassion fatigue and parenting stresses. Sessions focus on what the client wants to work on and practical steps that can be taken between meetings.

Her main method is client-centred counselling, which means she listens closely and follows the client’s concerns rather than imposing a fixed plan. She draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns from past relationships that may still affect current feelings and behaviour. She also uses CBT techniques to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour in day-to-day life.

Cheryl aims to create an environment where clients can talk about difficult topics such as abandonment, attachment issues, domestic violence or chronic illness without judgement. She can address family problems, blended family issues and communication or commitment concerns through individual work. Her practice covers practical matters like managing caregiver stress, body image worries and decision-making around divorce and separation.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary with location.

How her approaches fit into online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters to the person. It helps when someone needs space to talk through feelings and make their own decisions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses simple exercises to change patterns that cause distress. Psychodynamic ideas help identify recurring relationship patterns and past influences that affect current behaviour.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and together they will decide which combination of methods to try. This is collaborative and can change as the work progresses.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare and travel because it removes the need to reach a particular building. It can also allow shorter check-ins or sessions without video when that better suits the person’s day. Registered or accredited professionals use these approaches to help people work through stress, grief, trauma-related concerns and relationship issues via remote appointments.
