About Cheryl
BACP. 3 years' professional counselling experience and a long history of supporting people with mental health over 30 years. Cheryl McCabe helps with stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, anger, self-esteem and coping with life changes. She also works with ADHD, trauma and abuse, and issues related to LGBT identity and family concerns.
Cheryl describes her counselling style as gentle while prepared to question things when needed. She is interactive in sessions but will hold silence when it helps a client think. She uses a straightforward approach and sometimes brings humour into sessions to keep interactions real.
Her work is informed by Client-Centred Therapy. That means she focuses on the person’s own experience and supports people to find their own answers. She is parts- and trauma-aware and offers creative ways of working when words alone do not feel enough.
Cheryl emphasises collaboration; she trusts that clients know their story and have strengths to draw on. She says she cannot predict how therapy will go for any individual, but has seen positive change come from the therapeutic relationship.

How Cheryl uses Client-Centred work for online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own experience. The counsellor listens without directing, reflects what is said and helps the client explore feelings and decisions. This approach is often used for anxiety, relationship issues, self-esteem and grief.Cheryl is also parts- and trauma-aware. That means she recognises different aspects of a person's personality and how past events can affect current feelings. In practice she may use creative activities alongside talking where words feel limiting.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Cheryl will work collaboratively to decide what methods suit a client's needs, goals and preferences rather than imposing a single way of working. She aims to adapt sessions as understanding grows.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list formats explicitly. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into daily life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during busy weeks and offering options that do not require being on camera. Registered or accredited professionals often find that these practical benefits help people maintain continuity of care.
