About Cheryl
Cheryl Hunton works with adults on everyday problems that feel overwhelming. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, anger, grief and life changes. Cheryl has five years' experience and practises in the United Kingdom.
Cheryl bases her work on a client-centred way of working. That means she listens first and follows what matters most to the person in front of her. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, using practical steps to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour.
How Cheryl works
Psychodynamic ideas are used to look at patterns that may have developed over time. Sessions are offered in straightforward language and focus on what the client wants to change. Cheryl can help with relationship strain, parenting pressures, workplace stress and career worries.
She also supports people dealing with trauma, abuse, chronic illness, grief and issues linked to attachment and abandonment. Her practice covers additional concerns such as ADHD, autism and Asperger syndrome, body image, blended family matters, communication problems and compassion fatigue. Cheryl helps people explore emotions like emptiness and concerns around commitment or control.
People who prefer a gentle, listening approach combined with practical tools may find her style helpful. The work is collaborative, with the client deciding the pace and goals. Cheryl aims to offer a calm, non-judgemental space for that process to happen.

How Cheryl combines practical work and reflective therapy online
Client-centred work means the counsellor listens closely to what matters most to the client and follows their lead, helping people set the pace and goals for therapy. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavioural changes that can reduce anxiety or lift low mood; it is useful for stress, anxiety and confidence issues.Finding the right approach is usually a shared process. Cheryl will talk with the client about goals and preferences, then suggest ways of working that feel comfortable. That collaborative process can include reviewing progress and adjusting techniques as needed.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls are helpful when face-to-face contact matters, phone sessions suit shorter check-ins or people with limited bandwidth, and text or chat can be useful for quick mood check-ins or for those who prefer typing. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, childcare and daily life.
