About Sherylann
Counsellor and Accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with 15 years' experience. Sherylann Davies helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, depression and addictions. She also supports those dealing with sleep and eating concerns, parenting strain, anger and low self-esteem.
She works in an integrative way, drawing on several therapy models rather than a single method. That means sessions may include elements from client-centred work, cognitive behavioural approaches, attachment-focused ideas and solution-focused techniques. The emphasis is on clear conversations about what is causing difficulty and on practical ways to move forward.
Sherylann has specialist experience in trauma, grief and bereavement, anxiety and attachment concerns. She has supported people affected by physical, sexual and emotional abuse, and by issues such as abandonment, infidelity and guilt or shame. Her background also includes work with first responder issues, HIV and hospice and end-of-life counselling.
Sessions focus on identifying strengths, noticing patterns and testing small changes that make day-to-day life easier. She uses mindfulness practices and thought-focused work when these are helpful. Progress is checked in straightforward ways so people can see what is useful.
The counsellor works from the United Kingdom and offers counselling in English. If someone wants to start, they follow the site booking steps to complete a short questionnaire and arrange an initial appointment.
Therapeutic approaches used in remote counselling
Sherylann commonly uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. This can help when trust, abandonment or closeness feel difficult. She also uses Client-Centred therapy which focuses on listening and responding to what the person brings, helping them to feel heard and to clarify their own priorities.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and teaches practical steps to change unhelpful patterns. These approaches are chosen to fit the issue being worked on and to match what the person prefers.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options together and agree what to try first. They will adapt the mix of methods as goals and needs become clearer, keeping the process collaborative and practical.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking as the biography does not list specific remote options. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by removing travel time, reducing time away from work, or allowing a short phone check-in when email or messaging is not suitable. Registered or accredited professionals can explain the practical steps for arranging appointments and what to expect in a first remote session.
