About Cheryl Bellingham
With children, Cheryl focuses on gentle, age-appropriate ways to help them express and make sense of emotions, giving them space to process events they may find confusing or overwhelming.

Together with clients and families, Cheryl aims to identify the roots of their challenges, develop practical skills for day-to-day life, and support meaningful change at a pace that feels manageable. She draws on evidence-informed approaches and places collaboration at the centre of therapy. Cheryl holds BACP registration - a recognised professional membership for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom.

Therapeutic approaches for online therapy and support
Cheryl uses client-centred therapy to create a supportive, empathetic space where clients lead the pace and focus of their work; this approach helps people feel heard and fosters self-awareness, making it useful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and life adjustments. She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours and teaches practical strategies to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. In addition, Cheryl incorporates trauma-focused therapy when needed, using targeted techniques to help process traumatic experiences and reduce their ongoing impact on daily life.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Cheryl works with each person to identify their goals, preferences, and needs, and adapts methods over time so therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a single model. This joint decision making helps ensure the work is relevant and sustainable.
Online sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. For many people this accessibility makes it easier to maintain regular sessions and to involve family members when appropriate, while still working with registered professionals who can tailor treatment to each client's situation.
