Cheryl Hunton, BACP

Cheryl Hunton is a registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience supporting both adults and children. She practices as a pluralistic counsellor, which means she draws on a range of therapeutic methods to respond to each person’s unique needs. Cheryl is also a member of the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which indicates adherence to recognised professional standards.

Her work commonly addresses issues such as stress, anxiety and motivation, low self-esteem and confidence, anger, and grief and loss. Working mainly from a client-centered perspective, Cheryl places the client’s experience at the heart of the process while integrating psychodynamic insights and cognitive behavioural techniques as appropriate. This blend enables her to offer practical tools alongside opportunities to explore underlying patterns and emotional history.

Cheryl aims to provide a warm, non-judgmental space where clients can focus on their mental wellbeing and life circumstances. She recognises that beginning therapy takes courage and seeks to support people through that first step and beyond. Cheryl looks forward to hearing from prospective clients who are ready to begin that work.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Cheryl primarily works from a client-centered approach, which focuses on creating an accepting and empathetic space where clients’ own perspectives guide the pace and direction of therapy. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and to develop practical strategies for managing anxiety, low mood, and stress. Cheryl also integrates psychodynamic ideas to explore how past experiences and relationship patterns can influence present emotions and reactions, which is helpful for deeper emotional themes and recurring difficulties.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Cheryl and the client work together to decide which methods best fit the client’s goals, preferences, and circumstances, and adjustments are made as therapy progresses to ensure the work remains relevant and effective.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes scheduling more flexible and allows therapy to fit around work, family, and other commitments. These options support ongoing access to registered professionals and therapists while allowing clients to engage in a format they find most comfortable.
