Cheryl Hunton , BACP

Cheryl Hunton is a registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience working with both adults and children. As a pluralistic counsellor she draws on a range of methods to meet each person’s needs, combining a client-centered foundation with psychodynamic insights and practical Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques. Cheryl holds the credential BACP, which denotes membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists.

Her practice focuses on supporting people through stress and anxiety, motivation difficulties, low self-esteem and confidence concerns, anger, and grief and loss. Cheryl aims to tailor her approach so that therapeutic work reflects the individual - their history, current circumstances, and the changes they wish to make. This flexible stance allows for supportive listening alongside interventions designed to build coping skills and insight.

Clients can expect a warm, non-judgemental environment where they are invited to explore what is going on for them and to set the pace of sessions. Cheryl encourages anyone considering therapy to recognise the courage in taking the first step and to approach the process at a pace that feels right for them.

Approaches and Online Support for Personal Change

Cheryl works primarily from a client-centered perspective, which emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration so that the client’s own goals and values guide the work. This approach is helpful for people seeking support with self-esteem, life changes, and relationship challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and introducing practical strategies to manage symptoms of anxiety, low mood, and stress. Psychodynamic-informed work explores how past experiences and relational patterns can influence current feelings and reactions, offering insight for those dealing with attachment issues, unresolved grief, or long-standing emotional difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Cheryl collaborates with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, adapting methods over time so the work remains relevant and effective. Clients are supported to test different strategies and find what fits them best.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy lives and for those who prefer remote support. These options make it easier to maintain regular sessions, access therapy from home, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while working toward meaningful change with a licensed professional.
