About Cheryl
Cheryl Freedman is a BACP-registered counsellor working in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She works with people who are facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, family conflict, depression, and coping with life changes. Sessions are offered in English and she has also supported issues linked to adoption, attachment and caregiving strain.
Cheryl uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people talk through specific problems. She treats the person in front of her as the expert on their own life and helps them notice strengths they can use. Conversations are straightforward and focused on practical steps as well as reflection.
Her background includes private practice work and supporting clients with long-term health concerns, body image and codependency. Cheryl has also worked with people who describe avoidant personality patterns or who have experience of adoption, foster care or family of origin difficulties. She helps clients name patterns and try different ways of responding.
In session she can break down relationship issues, communication problems and commitment concerns into manageable pieces. She offers space to look at grief, emptiness or the effects of longstanding stress. Cheryl also supports people dealing with divorce, separation and changes that follow major life events.
Practicalities are discussed openly. She uses a subscription model for sessions which can be cancelled at any time. Prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session via the See online therapy options button.
How Cheryl applies evidence-based approaches online
Cheryl works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help people understand and change how they respond to stress and anxiety. One common approach is person-centred counselling which emphasises the client’s own perspective and strengths and supports clearer self-understanding and decision-making. Another approach she uses involves practical, problem-focused methods that break larger issues into manageable steps to reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day functioning.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Cheryl will help explore what feels most useful based on a person’s concerns, goals and preferences. Together they may try different ways of working and adjust the focus as progress is tracked over time.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session formats before booking. The therapist can explain how her practice organises appointments once you complete the matching questionnaire. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let someone avoid camera use if they prefer a phone conversation, or use video when visual interaction feels helpful. These practical options are discussed when arranging sessions so they match everyday life and routines.
