About Cheryl
Cheryl Bellingham is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. She focuses on relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, anxiety and coping with life changes. She also works with issues such as parenting strain, self-esteem, career uncertainty and sleep problems.
Cheryl works in plain, direct ways. She listens first, then helps people name the problem and try small changes. Sessions typically include talking, reflecting on patterns, and practical steps for day-to-day life. She uses approaches drawn from client‑centred ideas, cognitive behavioural techniques, motivational interviewing and trauma‑focused work.
In sessions she helps people sort through family conflict, intimacy worries and feelings of emptiness or abandonment. She supports people dealing with chronic illness, caregiving stress, bereavement and relationship breakups. She also offers help for attention difficulties and mood fluctuations such as bipolar presentations.
Cheryl explains things simply and focuses on what can be tried between meetings. Sessions may include identifying unhelpful thoughts, practising different responses, and setting achievable goals. She aims to make therapy understandable so people can use what they learn in daily life.
Clients can expect sessions conducted in English and based in the UK. International clients are not accepted. Before booking, confirm current session formats and practical details via the service sign-up process.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Cheryl uses client‑centred ideas and cognitive behavioural work in practical ways. Client‑centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person can find their own answers, which can help with relationship and parenting concerns. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches simple techniques to test and change unhelpful thinking, useful for anxiety, depression and sleep problems.Finding the right combination of methods is part of the work. She will discuss options with each person and agree what to try first based on their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape the focus of online sessions and any tasks to practise between meetings.
The biography does not specify which online formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check‑in appointments when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often use remote sessions to maintain continuity of care while adapting how work happens to suit daily routines.
