About Cheryl
Cheryl Bellingham, BACP counsellor, has five years' experience in the United Kingdom. She helps people cope with relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, anxiety and stress. She also supports concerns such as low self-esteem, parenting strain, sleeping problems and career-related worry.
Cheryl works with both adults and children. She uses straightforward talking and practical activities so feelings and memories are easier to manage. Sessions aim to identify what's causing distress and to try new ways of responding to difficult thoughts and situations.
Her approach combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centred methods, motivational interviewing and trauma-focused work. That means she pays attention to thoughts and behaviours, listens for what matters most to the person, and helps people find motivation for change. Practical tools and short exercises are commonly used between sessions.
Cheryl has experience supporting issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, blended family problems, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and separation or divorce. She also works with people facing codependency, dissociation, chronic pain and comorbidity of mental and physical health concerns.
Sessions are conducted in English and take place in the United Kingdom. Costs vary by location and are managed through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session using the See online therapy options button.
How Cheryl uses CBT and related approaches in online work
Cheryl commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and the behaviours that follow. CBT sessions focus on specific problems, breaking them into smaller steps and trying practical experiments to test new ways of thinking and acting.She also uses client-centred methods, which means listening carefully to what matters to the person and reflecting that back to build clarity. Motivational interviewing is used when ambivalence is present; it helps people find their own reasons to make changes and set achievable goals.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Cheryl will discuss options with each person and decide together what to focus on based on the individual's goals and circumstances. That collaborative selection is reviewed as progress is made.
The original biography does not list which online session formats are offered. Please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into daily life, for example by avoiding travel, allowing a shorter check-in during a break, or reducing the need to be on camera. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and homework for online sessions so practical tools remain usable in everyday routines.
