About Cheryl

Cheryl Ennis is a counsellor who helps people understand and manage the emotional difficulties they face. She uses a person-centred way of working so clients feel heard and safe to talk about what matters. Cheryl combines that with practical techniques when needed to help people change unhelpful thinking and behaviour.

Cheryl has nine years of experience supporting people with a wide range of concerns. These include stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, sleep and eating difficulties, and intimacy-related issues. She also helps with parenting stresses, relationship strain, anger, and low self-esteem.

Her approach blends Attachment-Based ideas with Client-Centred listening and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy tools. That mix lets her focus on relationships and emotional patterns, while also teaching concrete strategies to manage symptoms like panic and social anxiety. Motivational Interviewing features when people want help with change or keeping focused on goals.

Cheryl works with practical life matters such as career decisions, coping with change, and finding more meaning and self-compassion. She also addresses body image, communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, and isolation or loneliness. The work tends to be collaborative, with an emphasis on small, achievable steps.

She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, noted as BACP. Sessions are offered in English and Cheryl accepts international clients. To begin, people use the site Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire to arrange sessions.

How Cheryl's approaches translate to online counselling

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships influence feelings and behaviour. Online work using attachment ideas often focuses on understanding emotional patterns and building more secure ways of relating. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises empathic listening and creating space to talk without judgement, which helps people feel understood and able to explore difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy teaches simple skills to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and routines, and can be used to reduce panic, social anxiety or persistent low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Cheryl collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That means sessions can focus on understanding relationship patterns, practising practical CBT techniques, or combining elements from different approaches as the work progresses.

If you are considering online counselling, check the current session options before booking. Confirm the exact ways Cheryl offers sessions via the platform when you match. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so people can use an evening or a work break for a session.
