Cheryl Freedman

Cheryl Freedman is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, depression and coping with life changes. Cheryl also takes on concerns linked to abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment issues and autism spectrum challenges.

Cheryl practises from a person-centred viewpoint and treats each conversation as the main tool for change. Sessions focus on listening and helping people name what feels stuck. She encourages clients to draw on their own strengths and to make practical choices that fit their lives.

Her work often begins by clarifying the immediate problem. That might be a recent breakup, a family conflict, or the low mood that follows loss. Cheryl helps people talk through those events and see which steps feel manageable next.

For longer-standing patterns she will explore family of origin issues, attachment styles and how past caregiving shapes current relationships. She also supports people dealing with chronic illness, caregiver stress, body image and codependency by breaking problems into smaller, solvable parts.

People who come with questions about purpose or feeling directionless will find a practical focus in sessions. Cheryl helps identify values, small experiments and everyday adjustments that can test new ways of living. To begin, clients choose the online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How her therapeutic methods translate to online sessions

Cheryl works from a person-centred approach that places emphasis on the conversation between client and counsellor. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting and helping people make sense of their own experiences. It is helpful for stress, low mood and general life confusion where the main aim is clarity and forward movement.

She also draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address attachment and relationship patterns. These techniques help identify repeating behaviours and try alternative responses in everyday situations. They can be useful for people exploring family of origin issues, commitment concerns or communication difficulties.

Selecting the most useful approach is part of the work. Cheryl will discuss options with you and agree a way of working that matches your goals and preferences. That collaborative decision can change as you learn more about what helps.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed.
