Cheryl Hunton , BACP

Cheryl Hunton is a registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience supporting both adults and children through a wide range of challenges. She works as a pluralistic counsellor, drawing on different methods to tailor care to each person's needs, and is a member of BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Her practice focuses on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, motivation, anger, grief and loss, and life transitions, while also addressing relationship, family, trauma, parenting, career, and neurodiversity-related issues. By blending a client-centered stance with psychodynamic insights and cognitive behavioural techniques, she aims to match practical tools with deeper exploration so clients can make meaningful changes.

Cheryl offers a warm, non-judgemental space for people to explore what is happening in their lives and to work toward clearer perspectives and coping strategies. She recognises that starting therapy takes courage and treats the first step as an important milestone. Cheryl welcomes the opportunity to discuss how counselling might help and to support people through the process of change.

Online Therapeutic Approaches and Practical Support

Cheryl commonly uses a client-centered approach, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), and psychodynamic ideas in her online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on the client's own priorities and the therapeutic relationship, offering a supportive environment to build self-understanding and confidence and to address stress or life changes. CBT concentrates on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, providing practical strategies for anxiety, low mood, and anger management. Psychodynamic work explores recurring patterns and early experiences that influence current relationships and feelings, helping clients make sense of deeper emotional themes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work collaboratively with the client to explore goals, preferences, and needs, and will adapt methods over time to find the best fit for progress and comfort.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options can make it easier to maintain regular sessions, access support from home, and choose the format that feels most comfortable. Licensed professionals and therapists can use these formats to deliver consistent, meaningful care tailored to each person's situation.
