Cheryl Hunton, BACP

Cheryl Hunton is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom.

About Cheryl

Cheryl Hunton is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She sees adults who are dealing with everyday pressures like stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and major life changes. Cheryl aims to make the first step easier by offering calm, straightforward support and a warm, non-judgmental space to talk.

Cheryl generally works from a client-centred approach. That means she follows what matters to the person in the room and helps them find their own solutions.

Background and approach

She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns from the past, and on cognitive behavioural therapy techniques to tackle unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. In sessions she encourages clear, practical steps alongside reflection. Conversations may include identifying automatic thoughts, trying small experiments between sessions, and noticing recurring relationship patterns.

The emphasis is on tools that can be used in day-to-day life as well as talking about feelings. Cheryl has five years of professional experience and holds BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy membership. She works with a wide range of issues including parenting strain, compassion fatigue, trauma and abuse, ADHD and chronic health challenges.

Sessions are offered in English and she does not take international clients. Therapy is available through video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging. Clients follow a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

To begin a course of sessions a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules according to the therapist's availability.

How Cheryl’s approaches work online

Cheryl combines client-centred work with cognitive behavioural therapy techniques to help people make change. Client-centred therapy focuses on following the person’s concerns and priorities, offering an empathic space to talk and find direction. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Cheryl will work collaboratively to decide what feels most helpful based on a person’s goals and situation. That may mean spending time understanding early life patterns, practising CBT techniques between sessions, or using mindfulness skills to manage stress and anxiety.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to fit different routines. Video calls let people see facial cues and feel more like an in-person meeting, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is low, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options aim to make therapy flexible and easier to fit around work, family or health needs.
