About Cheryl
Cheryl Bellingham is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. She works with adults on issues including relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, anxiety and stress, and concerns around self-esteem and intimacy. Sessions are conducted in English.
Cheryl focuses on helping people untangle difficult feelings that come from family life, past wounds, or major life changes. She helps clients look at what keeps them stuck and practises ways to manage overwhelming emotions and day-to-day stresses. Practical strategies and steady conversation are used alongside listening.
Her approach draws on client-centred ways of working that keep the client's perspective central. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used to notice unhelpful thinking and test different patterns. Trauma-focused methods are applied when painful events need careful processing. Motivational Interviewing is part of the work for people who want to change habits or make different choices.
Cheryl aims to make sessions straightforward and focused on small steps that fit into busy lives. She can help with parenting strain, sleep problems, anger, career doubts, and long-term health or caregiving stress. For concerns linked to abandonment, attachment or blended family dynamics she offers practical conversations and coping tools.
People considering therapy complete an initial matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. International clients are not currently accepted.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the person says. Online sessions let this type of conversation continue by keeping attention on the client's experience and priorities. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps by identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural changes; online sessions can include brief exercises and homework to try between meetings. Trauma-Focused Therapy offers careful ways to process painful memories when needed, paced to the individual and combined with stabilising techniques.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn't helped before. Together the client and counsellor decide which methods to try first and adjust them as the work progresses. This keeps the process collaborative rather than fixed.
The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit work around day-to-day life, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or remove the need to travel. Registered or accredited professionals can use online meetings to continue focused, practical therapy that links clearly back to everyday challenges.
