About Cheryl
Cheryl Freedman is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach to support people through stress, anxiety, relationship strain and depression. She works in a straightforward way and focuses on what matters to the individual. Cheryl encourages people to name their goals and notice their strengths as they move through change.
Cheryl has four years of professional experience, including time in independent practice. She helps people who are coping with life changes and with family-related concerns such as separation, communication problems and family of origin issues.
Background and approach
She also offers support around abandonment, adoption and foster care matters, and attachment-related concerns. Her work includes helping people manage long-term challenges like chronic illness or pain, caregiver stress and body image worries. She also supports those facing difficulty with commitment, codependency and avoidant personality patterns.
Sessions aim to make difficult topics easier to talk about and to build small, practical steps forward. Cheryl is accredited with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP, which appears on her profile. She provides sessions in English and works with people in the United Kingdom.

Online support
She also supports practical coping strategies aimed at day-to-day relief from stress and anxiety. These are simple, actionable techniques to try between sessions, useful for managing difficult moments and building steadier routines over time.
Choosing the right way to work together is part of the process. Cheryl will collaborate with each person to identify which methods feel most helpful, adapting the approach as goals and needs evolve. That shared decision-making helps people feel more in control of their therapy journey.
Online sessions offer real practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that helps progress. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, ongoing written reflection or times when typing is easier than speaking. These options make it easier to get regular support while fitting therapy around work, family and day-to-day life.
