About Cheryl
Cheryl Bellingham is a counsellor who focuses on depression and related concerns. She provides a calm, attentive space where people can describe what feels hard. Cheryl listens without judgement and helps clients find small, practical steps forward.
Cheryl uses a client-centred style that keeps the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. She also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to help shift unhelpful thinking and build coping strategies. Motivational interviewing helps when people feel stuck about making changes.
Background and approach
Her practice covers a wide range of issues including relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, stress and anxiety. She also works with problems such as low self-esteem, sleeping difficulties, parenting strain and career worries. Longer-term or complex concerns such as bipolar disorder, chronic illness, and co-morbidity are part of her stated focus areas.
Cheryl has five years of clinical experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She carries that registration forward in day-to-day work and professional development. Sessions are offered in English and take place online via video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.
International clients are not currently accepted and sessions are arranged from within the United Kingdom. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a session is scheduled according to the therapist’s availability. The service uses a cancellable subscription billing model, with fees that vary by location and therapist availability.

Online support
Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. Online this can mean identifying unhelpful thinking patterns together, trying behavioural experiments between sessions, and building routines to improve sleep, mood and coping.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cheryl treats this as a collaborative process and will help clients choose methods that match their needs, goals and preferences. She reviews what is helping and adapts the plan as the relationship develops.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls suit longer discussions and visual cues, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat or messaging can be used for shorter check-ins, written reflection, or ongoing support between meetings. These options offer flexibility for people juggling family, work and health commitments.
