About Cheryl
Cheryl Fenech-Soler is a counsellor with eight years' experience supporting people through emotional challenges. She holds a BACP credential and works with adults on issues such as anxiety, depression, grief and relationship concerns. Cheryl aims to make the first step easier by offering a calm, non-judgemental space to talk.
Cheryl uses a blend of approaches so sessions match each person's needs. She draws on client-centred ideas to focus on what matters most to the person in front of her.
Background and approach
Psychodynamic thinking helps uncover patterns from past experience that still affect day-to-day life. She also uses solution-focused work to set practical, short-term goals and build coping strategies. That mix means sessions can move between understanding the past and trying small changes now.
Cheryl describes therapy as a collaborative process where the pace is set by the individual. Cheryl has worked with many people facing grief, attachment difficulties, childhood trauma, anxiety and depression. She also supports those dealing with addiction, sleep problems, self-esteem and career concerns among other issues.
Her experience includes a broad range of emotional and life challenges. Sessions are tailored and respectful, aiming to help people notice progress and develop clearer ways of coping. Cheryl accepts clients from the UK and internationally and offers a variety of online formats to suit different needs.

Approaches Cheryl lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Psychodynamic work looks at how past experiences and early relationships shape current patterns. Doing this online can help people make sense of repeated difficulties or attachment issues and reduce their day-to-day impact.
Solution-focused techniques concentrate on setting small, practical goals and identifying what already helps. These methods are useful when someone wants brief, action-oriented sessions to build coping skills and make immediate changes.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Cheryl will collaborate with each person to decide which combination of methods fits their goals and preferences. The plan can be adjusted as therapy progresses so sessions stay relevant.
Online therapy provides practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help. Phone sessions can be a good option if bandwidth is limited or a quieter audio check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or people who prefer writing to speaking. All formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments.
