Cheryl Hunton, BACP

Cheryl Hunton is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety and major life changes. She is experienced supporting people with low self-esteem, grief, anger and motivation difficulties. Cheryl also addresses concerns related to relationships, parenting, career strain and compassion fatigue. She lists midlife crisis among her areas of focus and works with people who are navigating that kind of transition.

Cheryl uses a Client-Centred approach as her main style. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which gives her different ways to respond to each person's situation. Sessions aim to be warm and non-judgemental, with an emphasis on listening first and then helping people try practical steps if that feels right.

Her practice values a straightforward, conversational way of working. Cheryl offers space to talk through difficult feelings and to make sense of patterns that keep causing stress. She can help people consider small changes and new ways of coping that fit their everyday life.

Cheryl has five years of professional experience and is registered with BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She works in English and is based in the UK. International clients are not accepted at present.

To begin, people follow the site's Start Therapy process and use a short questionnaire to match with Cheryl. Scheduling is then arranged according to therapist availability and the subscription payment model used by the service.

How Cheryl’s approaches adapt to online counselling

Client-Centred work focuses on listening and understanding a person’s experience. The counsellor offers empathy and reflection so the client feels heard and can make sense of their situation. This style often helps with depression, low self-esteem and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. CBT tools can be useful for anxiety, stress and problems with motivation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Cheryl will explore your goals, preferences and everyday context and suggest which methods might help most. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.

Session arrangements should be confirmed before booking since the biography does not specify formats. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Ask about the specific session formats offered when you complete the Start Therapy questionnaire so you can choose what fits your routine.
