About Cheryl

Counsellor Cheryl Crowle is a BACP member with three years of professional counselling experience in the UK. She also brings 25 years of prior work in education and mental health to her practice. Cheryl works with issues such as stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self esteem and bipolar-related concerns.

Cheryl offers a calm, conversational style and aims to help people talk through what they are feeling. She focuses on helping clients make decisions that fit what they want and need. Sessions are practical and person-centred, with time to look at immediate worries as well as longer-standing patterns.

Her background includes substantial experience with autism, attention differences and other educational needs. She also has experience relating to attachment difficulties, personality disorder presentations and dissociation. That background informs how she approaches conversations about behaviour, routines and communication.

Cheryl describes working to create an open environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment. She supports people affected by divorce, separation, domestic violence, abandonment and foster or adoption issues. Her work also covers body image, caregiver stress, chronic pain or illness, and coping after disaster.

People who prefer a conversational, client-centred way of working may find her approach easy to follow. The focus is on what you want to address now and how to move forward step by step. To begin, follow the site's process for matching and scheduling a first session.

How her client-centred approach works online

Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the centre of the work. The therapist listens with attention and reflects what is being said. This approach helps when someone needs space to make sense of feelings about stress, relationships, trauma, or identity concerns.

Cheryl's experience in education and mental health informs how she responds to neurodiversity and attachment issues. She will work with each person to find ways of talking that suit them, whether that means focused problem-solving or quieter reflective sessions. The aim is to agree together what to focus on and how to try things differently between sessions.

Practical benefits of online counselling include fitting sessions into an ordinary week and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to have brief check-ins, or longer weekly sessions, depending on what is arranged. The exact session formats available are not stated here, so confirm the current options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can offer flexible scheduling to help the work fit around study, work and family commitments.
