About Cheryl
Cheryl Fenech-Soler is a BACP-registered counsellor with eight years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She supports adults with concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting strains, depression and relationship issues. Sessions focus on what is happening now and practical ways to cope day to day.
Cheryl uses a mix of client-centred listening, psychodynamic thinking about patterns, and solution-focused ideas for quick practical steps. She centres the conversation on the person in front of her and looks at how past experiences shape current responses. This helps when longstanding patterns affect current family relationships or parenting decisions.
People meet her to talk through loss, anger, sleep and eating difficulties, or struggles with self-esteem and intimacy. She also works with people affected by addiction, neurodiversity concerns such as autism, or health-related stress like chronic illness and caregiving pressures. These topics often overlap, and sessions aim to address practical impact as well as emotional meaning.
Cheryl frames therapy as a collaborative process. She listens for the most useful next steps, whether that is making a concrete plan, reflecting on repeating patterns, or testing a small change between sessions. Therapy time is used to name what feels hard and try out different ways of responding.
She accepts international clients and runs her practice from the UK. Session costs vary by location and are paid through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first appointment.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online working
Cheryl draws on client-centred work, psychodynamic thinking and solution-focused methods to shape online sessions. Client-Centred Therapy means listening closely and following what matters most to the person, which helps when immediate emotional support and validation are needed. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that come from earlier relationships and life events, useful when repeating behaviours affect current family or parenting roles. Solution-Focused Therapy aims for small, practical steps that can be tried between sessions to change how daily problems feel.Choosing the right approach is usually collaborative. Cheryl will discuss goals, try different ways of working and adjust the approach based on what helps most. The early sessions often mix listening, reflection on patterns, and brief practical tasks to see what feels useful.
The practical benefits of online work can include fitting sessions into busy days and reducing travel time. If you need clarification about which session formats are offered, confirm the options before booking. Many people find online sessions help them keep therapy consistent alongside parenting, work and other commitments, and the format can be chosen to suit schedules and energy levels.
