Cheryl McCabe

Cheryl McCabe is a counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of professional counselling experience and a much longer history of supporting people with mental health. She works in a gentle, conversational way and is willing to challenge moments that need it. Cheryl aims to be alongside each person as they navigate difficult feelings and life changes. She values humour and being real while keeping space for silence and reflection.

Her approach is rooted in Client-Centred Therapy, which means she listens closely and follows the person’s pace. Cheryl also draws on creative methods when words are not enough, and she is aware of trauma and the idea of internal parts. This informs how she responds when strong emotions like anger or grief come up.

Cheryl helps people with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. She also supports those dealing with grief, anger, low self-esteem, intimacy-related issues and life transitions. Additional focus areas listed include ADHD, communication problems, addiction concerns, chronic illness, and caregiver stress among others.

Sessions are framed around the client’s own expertise about their life. Cheryl encourages people to notice their strengths and to work collaboratively on practical steps forward. She does not promise an outcome, but draws on experience to create a steady, compassionate space for change.

Taking the first step can feel hard and Cheryl aims to make that easier. She invites questions and offers a straightforward way to begin via the platform’s matching and scheduling process.

How Cheryl's client-centred work translates online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following the person’s pace. It helps when someone needs space to be heard about stress, relationship worries, anger or grief. Cheryl often uses gentle questioning and allows silence so thoughts can settle, which suits people who value a reflective, supportive space.

She also works creatively when talking feels limited, using non-verbal or imaginative methods to help express difficult feelings. This can be useful for trauma, anger and when strong emotions are hard to put into words. The aim is to meet each person where they are and welcome all parts of their experience.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Cheryl will work with clients to decide what helps most, based on their needs, goals and preferences. She encourages honest conversation about what feels useful and will adjust methods as the work unfolds.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving and day-to-day life. It also lets people choose quieter times, keep appointments without travel, and try shorter check-ins when that suits a busy schedule.
