About Cheryl
Cheryl Fenech-Soler is a counsellor and psychotherapist with eight years of experience based in the United Kingdom. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting and depression.
Cheryl uses straightforward conversations to help people make sense of difficult feelings. She listens to what matters most and then discusses practical steps to manage everyday problems. Sessions focus on understanding patterns, building clearer thinking, and trying small changes that can make life easier.
Her work brings together client-centred ways of relating with psychodynamic thinking about how past experiences affect present behaviour. She also uses solution-focused techniques to identify goals and notice what works. Together these approaches are used to look at mood, relationships, self-esteem and challenges such as addictions, sleep or eating concerns.
Cheryl has experience supporting people with attachment issues, abandonment concerns and neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger syndrome. She also helps with life pressures like caregiving, chronic illness, career worries and body image. The emphasis is on clear, manageable steps rather than complex jargon.
International clients can be seen and sessions are conducted in English. Before a first appointment she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire so the first session can focus on the most important issues.
How Cheryl uses her approaches in online work
Cheryl draws on client-centred practice which focuses on listening and reflecting what the client is experiencing so they feel understood and can make clearer decisions. This approach helps with low mood, anxiety and relationship concerns by centring the person’s own priorities.She also uses psychodynamic ideas to notice how past experiences and relationships affect current patterns of thinking and behaviour. This can be useful for working through attachment issues, childhood trauma and repeated relationship difficulties.
Solution-focused techniques are used to set short-term goals and identify small, practical changes. These methods are helpful when someone wants quick tools for managing stress, sleep, eating or daily routines.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Cheryl discusses goals and preferences with each person and together they agree what to try first. That collaborative process is revisited as things change.
Session formats should be confirmed before booking. If you plan to use online work, think about how sessions can fit into your week - for example a shorter check-in during a lunch break, or a conversation that avoids video if that feels easier. These practical choices can make attending sessions more manageable while you focus on the issues you want to address.
