About Cheryl
Counsellor Cheryl Clokey is a BACP member with three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, family concerns, grief and depression. Cheryl also focuses on issues such as ageing and geriatric concerns, body image, chronic illness and pain, communication problems and isolation.
Cheryl describes her practice as respectful and sensitive. Sessions begin with a short conversation to clarify what the person wants to address. She adapts how she talks and what she suggests to suit each person’s situation and goals.
In the room she listens for practical patterns that keep problems going. She helps people talk through difficult feelings and then looks at small, manageable changes to daily routines and thinking. Cheryl will work at a pace that feels reasonable for the person she is speaking with.
She also supports people dealing with guilt, shame, forgiveness and the aftermath of infidelity. Other areas she has experience with include postpartum depression, seasonal affective disorder and prejudice or discrimination-related stress.
Cheryl’s background includes three years of client-facing practice in the UK counselling field. People who choose to work with her often begin by setting a few short-term aims, then review progress together and adjust the approach as needed.
Therapeutic approaches and online counselling
Cheryl works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. One common approach looks at thinking patterns and how they influence mood and actions; it helps with anxiety, depression and unhelpful reactions to stress. Another approach examines relationships and communication, helping people change the ways they talk and set boundaries to reduce conflict and isolation.Choosing an approach is collaborative. Cheryl will discuss options, listen to what matters most to the person and try methods that fit their goals and preferences. The plan can be reviewed and changed as work progresses so the approach stays relevant to each person’s needs.
The original profile does not specify session formats, so please confirm which online or in-person options are available before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, travel or family commitments and can reduce time spent travelling. It can also allow shorter check-ins when that suits someone better, or enable face-to-face video work when that is preferred. Registered or accredited professionals can explain the practical arrangements when you book.
