About Cheryl
Cheryl McCabe is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional counselling experience and a long personal history of supporting people with mental health. She offers a gentle, interactive style and uses humour when it fits. Cheryl believes clients know their own story and brings a respectful, down-to-earth presence to sessions.
She adapts the pace to each person. Cheryl will ask direct questions when needed and be quiet when space for thought helps.
Background and approach
She works with words and sometimes with creative methods when talking alone is not enough. Cheryl has worked with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, anger, low self-esteem and depression. She also helps people coping with grief, loss and life changes.
Her practice includes work around trauma and parts of the self, so different aspects of experience are welcome in the room. Her approach is rooted in client-centred therapy, which means sessions focus on the person and their goals rather than the therapist directing every step. Cheryl aims to walk alongside people as they sort through inner and outer challenges.
Sessions are practical and conversational. Cheryl will aim to make first steps straightforward and answers questions about how therapy works. People who prefer a warm, curious and occasionally playful counsellor may find her a good fit.

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
Cheryl also brings a creative-minded stance when words alone are not enough. Creative options let people try different ways to express feelings, which can be useful for grief, trauma or complex emotions. These methods are used alongside conversation, not instead of it.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods feel most helpful for their goals and preferences. Together they will review what is working and adjust the plan as needed.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit daily life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when shorter check-ins are needed or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer typing or quick check-ins outside normal hours. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, care duties or other commitments.
