About Cheryl
Counsellor Cheryl Freedman is a BACP member practising in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family matters, depression and coping with life changes. Cheryl has also supported people dealing with abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, attachment questions and autism and Asperger syndrome issues.
Cheryl uses a person-centred approach that puts the client's own experience at the centre of each session. She treats people as the expert on their own lives and listens for their strengths and resources. Sessions are focused on what matters to the client and on small, practical steps that can ease daily pressure.
Her work includes talking through relationship difficulties, improving communication, and supporting people through separation or divorce. She also helps with feelings of emptiness, issues from family of origin, body image and codependency. For people living with chronic pain, illness or disability she offers space to discuss the emotional impact and coping options.
Cheryl has experience in private practice and in other professional settings over the last four years. That background informs how she structures sessions and follows up on what has been discussed. She encourages clear goals and practical ways to try things between meetings.
Sessions are conducted in English in the United Kingdom. People who want to begin are asked to use the online counselling options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule a first session.
Therapeutic approaches used in online counselling
Cheryl works from a person-centred basis. This approach focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. It helps people clarify their feelings and recognise their own strengths when dealing with stress, relationship problems and life changes.She also draws on practical, evidence-based techniques aimed at day-to-day coping. These techniques look at how thoughts and behaviours affect mood and then test small changes to reduce anxiety and low mood. They are useful for managing worry, improving sleep and handling difficult moments between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cheryl will discuss options with the client and agree a way forward together. That includes adapting methods to the person's needs, goals and preferences, and reviewing what is or is not working as therapy progresses.
