About Cheryl

Cheryl Hughes is a psychotherapist and counsellor with five years of clinical experience supporting people through anxiety, depression, trauma, bereavement, relationship difficulties, and sexual abuse. She has particular experience working with men affected by historic sexual abuse and with people living with complex post-traumatic reactions including PTSD and CPTSD, while also helping clients manage everyday stresses, self-esteem concerns, and life transitions.

She is registered with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and holds NCPS, credentials that indicate professional training and a commitment to ethical practice. Cheryl works from a humanistic, person-centred stance that places each person at the centre of the work and values their individual experience. In sessions she offers a calm, unhurried space where clients can explore their feelings and make sense of difficult experiences.

Cheryl aims to help people heal from pain, rebuild relationships, and move toward the life they want. She discusses what to expect during initial contact, including session format and goals, and supports clients through every step of their therapeutic journey. Her practice also addresses a wide range of other issues such as family and blended family concerns, grief, caregiving stress, intimacy and commitment issues, and autistic spectrum related challenges.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Cheryl draws on several evidence-informed approaches tailored to each person she works with. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early bonds and relationship patterns shape current emotions and interactions - it can be helpful for people coping with attachment difficulties, intimacy issues, and family or relationship challenges. Client-Centred Therapy places the client at the heart of the process, offering empathic listening and support to help people discover their own solutions and build self-understanding; this approach suits those facing anxiety, low self-esteem, and life transitions. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on addressing the impact of traumatic events and guiding recovery from symptoms of PTSD and complex trauma through structured, trauma-aware work.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Cheryl works with each client to understand their needs, goals, and preferences and will adapt methods over time to find the best fit for their healing and growth.

Online therapy with Cheryl is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to access support from home or while traveling. These options provide flexibility in scheduling and formats so clients can choose the way of working that fits their life and comfort level, while still engaging in meaningful therapeutic work with a licensed professional.
