About Cheryl

Cheryl McCabe is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of formal counselling experience and three decades of informal support for people with mental health needs. She works in a gentle, interactive way and aims to make the first steps into therapy easier for anyone who is nervous to begin.

Cheryl believes clients are the experts on their own lives and works alongside them to find practical ways forward.

Background and approach

Her style is conversational but thoughtful. She will ask questions when needed and hold silence when a person needs space to think. Cheryl uses humour when it feels right to keep sessions grounded and real.

She also draws on creative methods when words alone do not capture what someone is trying to share. Cheryl has helped people manage stress, anxiety and anger. She also supports work on self-esteem, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, grief and coping with major life changes.

Trauma and abuse are listed among her focus areas and she is aware of how different parts of a person can carry painful memories. Additional areas she attends to include ADHD, bereavement, addiction, family problems, caregiver stress, chronic illness and issues around body image and ageing. She is open to talking about abandonment, attachment and feelings of emptiness or shame.

Cheryl is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions are offered in English and are available via video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.

Ways of working Cheryl names

Client-Centred Therapy

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Client-centred care and online support

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening with warmth and without judgement. The therapist follows the client's lead, helps them find their own answers, and supports work on issues like self-esteem, grief, anxiety and relationship concerns.

Cheryl is trauma aware and pays attention to the different parts of a person that can hold pain. That awareness helps when discussing past abuse, loss or strong emotional reactions and can guide gentle, paced work on those memories.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process and is done together. The therapist will talk about what feels most useful, try gentle methods, and adjust based on your needs and goals so the work fits you rather than the other way round.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls work well for in-depth conversations and visual connection. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Chat or messaging suits people who prefer typing, want flexibility around timing, or need smaller, paced exchanges during the week. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep continuity when travel or location would otherwise get in the way.
