Cheryl Freedman

Cheryl Freedman is a person-centred counsellor with four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works from the view that each person knows their story best and brings strengths that can help them move through hard times. Cheryl aims to support people who are ready to make changes and take small steps towards a more fulfilling life.

She has worked in private practice and helped people manage stress and anxiety. She also supports those dealing with depression and relationship difficulties. Cheryl has experience with family conflict and with people who are coping with major life changes.

Her practice includes additional focus areas such as attachment issues, body image, and the effects of adoption or foster care. She has also supported people facing caregiver strain, chronic illness or pain, codependency, and challenges around communication and commitment.

Cheryl uses a warm, non-judgemental style and listens with the aim of helping people find their own solutions. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. She encourages practical steps people can try between meetings, while recognising change can take time.

People who choose to work with Cheryl can expect straightforward, respectful conversations about what matters to them. She aims to empower clients to notice strengths, set manageable goals, and build on progress as they move forward.

Practical person-centred care and online therapy options

Cheryl draws on person-centred counselling which focuses on listening, acceptance and helping people access their own resources. This approach is often helpful for stress, anxiety, relationship concerns and coping with life changes because it centres on what matters to the person in front of her.

She also brings evidence-based therapeutic techniques into sessions where appropriate. These approaches tend to break issues into manageable steps, help people build coping skills, and address patterns that affect relationships and self-image. Such techniques can be useful for body image work, attachment issues, and managing caregiver stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Cheryl will help you decide which methods fit your goals and preferences, and she will adapt the pace and tools to your needs in a collaborative way.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow sessions from a familiar location. It can also enable shorter check-ins when needed or meet with a counsellor from different parts of the UK without changing therapists.
