About Cheryl

Cheryl Clokey is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief and loss, and depression. Cheryl focuses on issues such as guilt and shame alongside other life challenges people bring to therapy.

She aims for practical conversations that address what is happening now. Sessions are used to untangle overwhelming feelings and to name the parts of life that are causing strain. Cheryl adapts the tone and pace to each person so conversations feel manageable.

Her work includes looking at how relationships and family patterns shape feelings such as guilt, shame and isolation. She also supports people facing illness, chronic pain, body image struggles, postpartum changes and midlife transitions. Cheryl pays attention to communication problems and the effects of infidelity or domestic violence when those are part of someone’s story.

Cheryl draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address mood and stress, and to help with life direction and purpose. She discusses options with each person and focuses on practical steps that fit day-to-day life. Therapy aims to clarify what someone wants to change and what might help them move toward that.

Sessions are conducted in English and are for people in the United Kingdom. Costs vary with location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Cheryl draws on practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. One common approach focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours that keep anxiety or low mood active; this helps people notice and test thoughts that fuel guilt or shame. Another approach looks at relationships and communication to understand how family dynamics or conflict contribute to current feelings and to practise different ways of talking and setting boundaries.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Cheryl will discuss options with each person and decide collaboratively which methods fit their needs and goals. That conversation includes what feels manageable day to day and what kind of change the person wants to aim for.

The biography does not specify which online formats are used, so please confirm available session types before booking. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit into a working day, need less travel time, or prefer a shorter check-in when life is busy. Registered and accredited professionals commonly use online ways to make regular work on difficult feelings more practical for everyday life.
