Cheryl Ennis, BACP

Cheryl Ennis is a compassionate counsellor who supports people in understanding the mental and emotional challenges they face and in taking practical steps toward positive change. With a commitment to working proactively alongside clients, she helps identify the root of difficulties and explores solutions that promote greater wellbeing.

She brings a well-established record of helping people overcome barriers such as depression, anxiety, grief, anger, low self-esteem, stress and relationship problems. Cheryl blends a person-centred way of working with targeted cognitive behavioural techniques when helpful - creating an environment where clients feel at ease to explore thoughts and feelings while also learning tools to manage negative thinking patterns.

Cheryl has experience working with a broad age range, enabling her to connect with people at different life stages and tailor support to individual needs. Her goal is to guide clients toward discovering the source of their concerns and finding a path forward that leads to greater fulfilment and balance.

She is a registered BACP counsellor - BACP refers to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists - and adheres to professional and ethical standards. Cheryl takes pride in her work and finds continued motivation in client feedback, which drives her to expand her knowledge and skills in order to offer high-quality counselling.

Therapeutic approaches for online counselling and support

Cheryl works with several established approaches to help clients navigate emotional and relational challenges. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, non-judgemental space where the client’s own goals and values guide the process - this approach is helpful for building self-awareness, confidence and emotional clarity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns through practical strategies and skills - it can be effective for anxiety, low mood and stress management. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns shape current emotional responses and interpersonal dynamics, offering insight for those working through relationship difficulties, trauma or recurring relational themes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Cheryl takes a collaborative stance - she will work with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals and preferences, and adapt the work as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility, allowing clients to engage by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging according to what suits them best. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care around busy schedules, geographical distance or mobility considerations, while still working with registered professionals and therapists who can tailor sessions to individual circumstances.
