Cheryl Clokey

Cheryl Clokey is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, grief and depression. She aims to offer a respectful, sensitive and compassionate space where people can talk through what matters most to them. Cheryl highlights tailoring conversations and plans to each person's needs. She frames seeking help as a brave first step toward a more satisfying life.

With three years of professional experience, Cheryl draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address a wide range of concerns. She supports people dealing with body image worries, chronic pain or illness, the effects of ageing, and the fallout from infidelity or domestic violence. She also works with issues such as guilt, shame, isolation, and questions about life purpose and midlife change.

Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than jargon. Cheryl will help identify patterns that maintain distress and try different ways of responding. She aims to make plans that fit day-to-day life and feel manageable.

Her approach is collaborative: she listens first, then shapes a way forward alongside each person. That may include short-term goals or a longer conversation about deeper losses like grief or postpartum depression.

Cheryl holds BACP in the United Kingdom. She offers sessions in English and does not work with international clients at this time. To begin, readers are invited to use the site's Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange sessions according to availability.

Evidence-based approaches and how they help online

Cheryl uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions in clear, practical terms. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new ways of thinking and behaving; this can help reduce anxiety and lift mood by breaking cycles that keep problems going. Another approach involves working through grief and loss at a pace that feels manageable, helping people make sense of what’s happened and find ways to carry on with everyday life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cheryl will listen to each person's situation, goals and preferences and then suggest ways of working together. She aims to agree on goals and methods collaboratively so sessions feel relevant and useful rather than one-size-fits-all.

Please check the session formats available before booking, as this profile does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, avoid travel time and join from wherever you spend most of your day. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed and reduce the need to be on camera for every meeting, depending on the formats offered. Registered and accredited professionals often use online sessions to help maintain continuity of care while accommodating everyday life.
