Cheryl Hunton , BACP

Cheryl Hunton is a registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience supporting both adults and children. She works plurally, blending a client-centered foundation with psychodynamic insight and practical cognitive behavioral techniques to respond to each person’s unique situation and goals.

Her practice focuses on common concerns such as stress, anxiety and motivation, low self-esteem and confidence, anger, and grief and loss. Cheryl aims to tailor interventions so that therapeutic work fits each client rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method. As a holder of the BACP credential - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - she follows established professional standards in her work.

In sessions she strives to create a warm, non-judgemental environment where people can attend to their mental wellbeing, explore what is happening in their lives, and build strategies for change. Cheryl recognises that beginning therapy can require courage and offers a supportive, person-focused approach to help clients take those first steps.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Cheryl commonly uses a client-centered approach, which focuses on listening, empathy, and supporting clients to explore their own goals and solutions; this approach can be helpful for issues like low self-esteem, life transitions, and general emotional support. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, offers practical strategies to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and is often used for anxiety, stress, and mood concerns. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to help clients understand patterns that arise from past experiences and relationships, supporting deeper insight when that is relevant to the presenting difficulties.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Cheryl works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best suit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the focus over time as progress is made. Licensed professionals and therapists often combine techniques in this way to personalise care.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for scheduling and access, allowing people to engage from different locations and at different times. These options can make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to fit sessions into busy lives while still working toward meaningful change.
