About Cheryl
Cheryl Ennis is a counsellor who blends person-centred warmth with practical techniques. She focuses on helping people make sense of stress, anxiety, depression and relationship struggles. Cheryl uses tools from cognitive behavioural therapy alongside emotionally-focused and attachment-aware ways of working to help people move forward.
Clients can expect straightforward conversations that aim to identify what feels stuck and why. Sessions look at thoughts, patterns and feelings so clients can try out different ways of responding.
How Cheryl works
Cheryl also supports those coping with grief, addiction, compassion fatigue and life changes. She has nine years of practice and works with adults on matters such as parenting pressures, sleep and eating difficulties, intimacy concerns and low self-esteem. Additional focus areas include body image, social anxiety, panic attacks and issues around guilt or forgiveness.
Cheryl draws on motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change and to build small achievable steps. Her approach is gentle and goal-focused, matching practical strategies to each person’s situation. The emphasis is on creating clear, manageable options rather than complex theories.
Cheryl is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, which is shown as BACP. She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire so they can be scheduled with a session time that suits them.

Online support options
How Cheryl’s approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-based work focuses on how close relationships shape feelings and reactions. Online sessions can look at patterns in current relationships and early connections to help people understand why they react in certain ways, which is useful for relationship stress and intimacy concerns.Client-centred therapy puts the person’s experience at the centre and follows the client’s pace. In remote sessions this means the counsellor listens carefully and reflects back what she hears so people feel understood and can explore issues like grief, low self-esteem or life purpose.
Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviours. In online sessions Cheryl can introduce simple exercises and homework to try between meetings, which works well for anxiety, panic attacks, sleep problems and negative thinking.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cheryl will talk through goals, preferences and practical needs with each person and agree on the best mix of ways of working. That collaborative process can change as the work unfolds.
Online therapy offers flexibility to fit sessions into busy lives. Video calls let people use visual cues, phone sessions need less bandwidth, and live chat or text-based messaging can suit shorter check-ins or times when being on camera is difficult. These options make it easier to keep momentum and to use techniques between sessions.
