Cheryl Freedman, BACP

Cheryl Freedman is a qualified person-centred counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 4 years of professional experience, including work in private practice. She supports people navigating stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, a history of trauma, depression, and the challenges of major life changes. Cheryl combines a respectful, non-judgmental approach with practical support to help clients discover and build on their existing strengths.

Cheryl holds a BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects her professional training and commitment to ongoing development. Her practice focuses on creating a space where clients are acknowledged as the experts of their own stories, and where personal resilience and insight can be developed at a comfortable pace.

She views the decision to seek therapy as an act of courage and a first step toward a more fulfilling life. Cheryl aims to support and empower people throughout that journey, helping them to identify goals, explore choices, and develop coping strategies that suit their individual needs and circumstances.

Person-centred work and practical, evidence-based techniques online

Cheryl primarily uses a person-centred approach, which focuses on listening with empathy and helping clients explore their own goals and values. This approach helps individuals build self-awareness, strengthen confidence, and find solutions that feel authentic to them.

She also integrates evidence-based therapeutic techniques that teach practical skills for managing symptoms like anxiety, stress, low mood, and relationship challenges. These techniques can include straightforward coping strategies, communication-focused work, and problem-solving tools tailored to each person's situation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Cheryl works collaboratively with each client to identify the methods that best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review progress and adapt the plan over time.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make therapy more flexible and accessible for people with busy schedules, mobility limitations, or those who prefer remote care. These options allow clients to engage in regular sessions from home or another convenient location while maintaining continuity of care with licensed professionals and therapists.
