About Cheryl

Cheryl Fenech-Soler is a counsellor who works with adults on emotional and practical issues. She draws on eight years of experience to help people facing stress, anxiety, grief and relationship concerns. Cheryl aims to make the first step easier and to offer calm, steady support during difficult times.

Cheryl creates a simple, listening space where people can talk without feeling judged. Sessions focus on what matters now and on practical steps clients can try between meetings.

Background and approach

She adapts each session to the person in front of her rather than using a fixed formula. Her background includes work with adults experiencing trauma, attachment difficulties, low mood and worry. Cheryl also supports people with sleep and eating concerns, addictions, bipolar and ADHD-related struggles.

She has experience helping those coping with chronic health issues and major life transitions. Cheryl uses a mix of conversational approaches. She draws on client-centred work to follow the person’s priorities, psychodynamic ideas to notice repeated patterns, and solution-focused strategies to set small, achievable goals.

This blend helps people understand themselves and try practical changes. Sessions are offered in English and Cheryl is based in the United Kingdom. She is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

If someone wants a straightforward, respectful therapist who listens and helps plan next steps, Cheryl offers that collaborative style.

Ways of working Cheryl names

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

How Cheryl’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience first. The therapist listens closely, follows what matters to the client, and helps them find their own solutions. This approach suits people wanting a supportive space to sort their feelings and priorities.

Psychodynamic Therapy pays attention to repeated patterns that show up in relationships and behaviour. It helps people recognise where old experiences continue to affect how they respond now. That can be useful for those dealing with attachment issues, trauma or long-standing emotional difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cheryl will talk through different ways of working and agree a plan with each person. This is a collaborative process that checks goals, preferences and what feels most helpful as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people see visual cues and work much like an in-person session. Phone sessions can be quicker and need less bandwidth for days when being on camera isn’t wanted. Live chat and text-based messaging suit short check-ins, reflections between sessions or people who prefer writing to speaking.

These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and travel, and they allow people in different locations to work with registered or accredited professionals. Cheryl uses these options to match the way each person prefers to engage with therapy.
