About Cheryl
Cheryl Crowle is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with three years of professional counselling experience in the UK. She also brings long experience from education and wider mental health work. Cheryl aims to make it easier for people to talk about hard problems and to find a way forward that fits their needs.
Cheryl works in a warm, open style. She focuses on listening and helping people sort through feelings such as anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, trauma and bipolar-related concerns.
How Cheryl works
Sessions are aimed at helping people understand their thoughts and decide on practical next steps. Her background includes significant work around neurodiversity and educational needs, including autism and attention differences. She also has experience with attachment issues, adoption and foster care topics, and the effects of abuse and dissociation.
This wider experience informs how she tailors conversations to each person. Cheryl supports people managing relationship strain, communication problems, chronic illness or pain, caregiver stress, and the emotional impact of separation or divorce. She also helps with body image, feelings of emptiness, control issues and coping after disasters.
Cheryl uses a client-centred approach that keeps the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. She encourages people to express themselves without judgment and to take steps that match their values. The first session is practical and focused on what the person hopes to achieve next.

How Cheryl’s Client-Centred Approach Works Online
Cheryl uses a client-centred approach which focuses on the person rather than a fixed technique. This means sessions aim to follow the client’s pace, reflect what they say, and help them make decisions that match their values. It can be helpful for anxiety, stress, relationship worries and coping after trauma.Finding the right way of working is part of therapy. Cheryl will discuss goals and preferences with each person and adapt her style as the work progresses. That collaborative process helps identify whether conversation-based sessions, shorter check-ins or more frequent messaging suit the person best.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make counselling more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from different locations. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, ongoing reflections between sessions or times when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, study and caring commitments while keeping the focus on the person’s needs and goals.
