About Cheryl

Cheryl McCabe is a counsellor working in the United Kingdom with three years of professional counselling experience and many more years supporting people with mental health. She uses a gentle, interactive style and is comfortable asking direct questions when needed. Cheryl values humour and being down-to-earth while offering space for reflection and silence.

She works in English and is registered with the BACP. Cheryl usually focuses on everyday pressures like stress and anxiety.

Background and approach

She also helps people dealing with depression, grief and loss, anger, low self-esteem and intimacy-related concerns. Relationship difficulties and issues connected to identity, including LGBT matters, are part of her practice. ADHD and coping with life changes are also on her list of concerns.

She describes her way of working as collaborative. Cheryl treats the person, not a problem, and believes clients are the experts in their own stories. Her sessions can include creative approaches when words feel inadequate, and she accepts different parts of personality as meaningful.

Cheryl is trauma and 'parts' aware and will balance gentle listening with thoughtful challenge. She aims to be alongside clients as they sort inner and outer difficulties. She does not promise specific outcomes but draws on her experience to support healing through the relationship.

Taking the first step can feel daunting and she aims to make it straightforward. Questions are welcome at any stage and she encourages people to explain what they need from counselling.

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.

How Cheryl's approach works online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person rather than a set of techniques. The therapist offers empathic listening, reflects what you say and helps you find your own solutions. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, relationship troubles and coping with life changes.

Cheryl brings a trauma-aware and parts-aware perspective within a client-centred framework. That means she will respect the different aspects of your experience and pace the work to what feels manageable. Deciding which approach to use is collaborative - she will work with you to choose what fits your needs and goals rather than imposing a single method.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video lets you see visual cues and build rapport. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in suits your day. Live chat and messaging are useful for people who prefer typed conversation or need flexible timing. These options make it simpler to fit counselling into busy lives and to keep continuity when in-person sessions are not possible.
