About Cheryl
Cheryl Bellingham is a counsellor who helps people facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, anxiety, depression, and issues with self-esteem. She also supports those struggling with codependency, parenting concerns, sleep problems, anger, and major life changes. Cheryl works with both adults and children and aims to make each person feel heard and understood.
Cheryl uses a calm, warm style in sessions. She creates a space where feelings can be named and talked through in plain language. For children she offers a nurturing approach that helps them express difficult experiences in age-appropriate ways. For adults she focuses on what matters now and on practical steps to manage distress.
Her practice draws on client-centred therapy to follow the person’s lead and build trust. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and try new ways of coping. Trauma-Focused Therapy is used when past events continue to cause pain, and Motivational Interviewing can help people make changes they really want to stick with.
Cheryl has five years of professional experience and holds BACP registration, which she lists among her credentials. She works from the United Kingdom and runs sessions in English. International clients are not currently accepted.
Sessions are arranged through a subscription system that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule according to the therapist’s availability.
How Cheryl’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. It means the therapist follows the person’s pace, reflects what they say, and helps them feel validated. This approach is useful for people who need space to talk through hard feelings and decide what matters most.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. Cheryl uses CBT to help people spot unhelpful thought patterns and try small, practical changes that reduce anxiety or low mood. This approach is often helpful for stress, sleep problems and low self-esteem.
Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. Cheryl discusses goals and preferences with each person and chooses ways of working together that fit their needs. That collaboration continues over time, with techniques adjusted if something isn’t helping.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life, such as fitting a short check-in during a work break or avoiding travel time. Because the exact session formats are not listed in her biography, confirm the available options before booking. The focus is on practical benefits: saving travel, making it simpler to attend regularly, and keeping the work manageable alongside family and commitments.
