About Cheryl
Cheryl Freedman is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems and family conflict. Cheryl also helps those coping with life changes and difficult past experiences.
Her approach is rooted in person-centred counselling. She treats each person as the expert on their story and listens for the strengths someone already has. Sessions focus on practical conversation, noticing patterns, and trying out different ways of handling difficult feelings and interactions.
Cheryl has worked in private practice and with a range of concerns linked to attachment and family of origin issues. She has supported people affected by abandonment, adoption and foster care histories, and those facing the emotional impact of chronic illness or caregiving stress. She also helps people dealing with codependency and problems around communication and commitment.
In sessions Cheryl will offer steady conversational support and clear, direct reflections to help someone make sense of their choices. She will look at how past experiences affect current relationships and practical ways to set limits or make different decisions. The emphasis is on small, manageable steps rather than big, fast fixes.
Sessions are conducted in English and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled using the See online therapy options button.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Person-centred counselling focuses on listening, reflecting and helping someone uncover their own strengths. In practice this means sessions spend time on what matters most to the person and on practical next steps for relationships, mood or coping with change.Working with attachment-related themes involves noticing patterns in how someone connects with others. This approach helps when past losses, adoption or family dynamics keep influencing current relationships and boundary setting.
Choosing a way of working is part of the process. Cheryl will work together with the person to decide which approaches suit their goals and preferences. That discussion can change as progress is made, and adjustments are made in collaboration rather than imposed.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into busy lives, reduce travel time and offer shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow someone to access a counsellor from their local area in the United Kingdom without having to travel.
