About Cheryl
Cheryl Freedman is a person-centred counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP accreditation and has four years of professional experience that include private practice. Cheryl focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strains, family conflict and depression. She also supports those coping with significant life changes.
Cheryl believes each person knows their own story and brings strengths to the work. In sessions she offers steady support and helps clients notice options and choices. The aim is practical change that fits everyday life rather than complex theory.
Her work commonly addresses issues such as attachment concerns, body image, commitment and communication problems, and the effects of adoption or foster care. Cheryl also works with people facing chronic illness or caregiving stress, feelings of emptiness, and family of origin difficulties.
Sessions are shaped around what the client needs in the moment. She listens for patterns people want to shift and helps them build small, achievable steps. Over time this can reduce anxiety, ease low mood, and improve how people relate to others.
Cheryl offers sessions in English and does not take international clients. To start, clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before booking according to the therapist's availability.
How person-centred work and online therapy can help
Person-centred counselling focuses on listening, empathy and helping people find their own answers. It aims to create space for honest reflection and to support people to build on their strengths. This approach is often used for stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship concerns.Many counsellors also draw on evidence-based techniques to address specific problems. For example, brief behavioural strategies can help people reduce unhelpful patterns and increase activities that improve mood. Another common technique is skills-based coaching for communication and coping, which teaches practical ways to manage intense feelings and improve conversations with others.
Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. The counsellor will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals, preferences and day-to-day life. This means plans can change as needs become clearer and progress is made.
Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy schedule and removing travel time, which can make regular appointments more realistic. If you are considering sessions, confirm the current session formats before booking so you know how appointments will run. Registered or accredited professionals can offer online options that aim to match therapy to what works for you.
