About Cheryl
Cheryl Freedman is a person-centred counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP registration and brings four years of professional experience that includes private practice. Cheryl works with people who feel stuck by stress, anxiety, depression or relationship and family difficulties.
Her approach places the client at the centre of the work. She listens without judgement and invites people to lead the pace and focus of sessions. Cheryl aims to notice strengths and build them into practical steps that feel manageable day to day.
She has experience supporting people through life changes such as separation, adoption and shifts in caregiving roles. Other areas she addresses include attachment concerns, codependency, body image and long-term health challenges like chronic pain or disability.
Cheryl also works with issues linked to identity and interpersonal patterns, for example avoidant personality traits, commitment worries, control difficulties and family of origin matters. Conversations often cover communication breakdowns, feelings of emptiness and coping after trauma.
People who meet Cheryl can expect a calm, encouraging presence and a focus on small achievable goals. She views therapy as a collaborative process and supports clients as they try new ways of relating to themselves and others. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on availability.
How person-centred work and evidence-based techniques translate online
Cheryl combines person-centred counselling with evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage worry and life transitions. Person-centred work focuses on listening, reflecting back what matters and letting the client set the pace; this helps with feeling heard and clearer about next steps. Evidence-based techniques can include structured ways to notice patterns in thought and behaviour and to practise small changes that reduce stress and improve mood. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Cheryl will discuss different ideas and make decisions together with the client based on their goals, needs and preferences. That collaborative planning shapes what is tried week to week and how progress is reviewed. If you are considering online therapy, check the available session options before booking to confirm how sessions will be run. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit into a day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Others prefer sessions that allow more time for reflection and practical problem-solving. Cheryl will help match the approach and format to everyday routines so therapy can fit into real life rather than being an added burden.Areas of expertise
