Cheryl McCabe, BACP

Cheryl McCabe is a counsellor credentialed in the United Kingdom with 3 years of professional counselling experience and 30 years of supporting people with mental health. She works from a gentle, client-centered stance while remaining willing to ask challenging questions when that helps progress the work. Her style balances active interaction with thoughtful silence to allow space for reflection, and she brings a grounded sense of humour to sessions to keep the work real and human.

Cheryl has supported people with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, anger management, motivation, and low self-esteem. She also uses creative methods when words alone are not enough and is aware of parts-based and trauma-related dynamics, welcoming all aspects of a person into the therapeutic space. Her additional focus areas include family concerns, intimacy-related issues, coping with life changes, ADHD, and a range of other emotional and practical challenges.

Cheryl believes that each person is the expert on their own story and that people carry strengths that can help them move through difficulties. As a BACP member - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - she brings professional standards to her practice while aiming to walk alongside clients as they explore their inner and outer worlds. She acknowledges that therapy outcomes cannot be predicted but has witnessed the positive effects of a strong therapeutic relationship and seeks to make the first steps into therapy as approachable as possible.
