Cheryl is kind, considerate and attentive. I haven’t been using BetterHelp for very long but already it has helped me a lot. Cheryl has given me some tools that definitely helped loads and I have felt comfortable so I can be as honest as possible without judgement. Still only early doors for me on this journey but it’s been so helpful thus far.

Welcome!
My name is Cheryl.
I am a therapist licensed in the UK. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, stress, low self-esteem, gender dysmorphia, identity, sexuality.
How I work,
I like to think that my therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. So don't worry if you haven't done therapy before and feel a bit unsure about how things work. Just think of it as a safe space to talk and explore what ever you need to in the moment. I offer tools and strategies to help with a number of different issues. I am also mindful that not one size fits all and will always strive to help you find the right fit for you.
My experience,
I work at a GP surgery, school, youth counselling agency, in private practise, and online with Betterhelp. So I have gained some good experience working with both adults and teenagers. I also attend regular training and workshops monthly to keep my skills and knowledge up to date.
A bit about me,
I decided to become as a counsellor because I have a real passion for helping people and have also walked a difficult path at times in my own life. I feel this has enabled me to be an empathic listener. I also keep in mind that we are all different and don't all experience the same journey in life. I value difference and diversity in the counselling room.
If you feel that I might be the right counsellor for you then I am more than happy to help!

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Very early days but very pleased so far. Cheryl is very good at checking in, and her patience is clear to see.
Cheryl is responsive, listens to everything carefully I have to say, and genuinely cares about everything she's doing. She's been such a great help to me, I really value the work that she does with me. I can't praise her highly enough.
Lovely counsellor who supports me very well.
It’s early days but I feel understood and supported the Cheryl. She also takes the time to check in between sessions which is appreciated.
Cheryl has been a great listener and support throughout our therapy sessions. She gave me the space to talk, get emotional, and was supportive. I feel like a new person at the end of our group of sessions, thank you.
Cheryl has been a great listener during our live sessions and has provided eye opening insights based on the few appointments we've had. All the while being a beacon of hope and light for me when things feel hopeless and dark.
