Cheryl Mcgann

Cheryl Mcgann is a UK-based counsellor with over 15 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. Cheryl aims to be respectful and compassionate in every session, and she adapts her approach to fit each person's needs.

Her background includes long-standing practice in helping people manage their emotions and regain a sense of control. Cheryl listens carefully and uses practical conversation to help clarify what is causing distress. She invites clients to set small, achievable goals and checks in regularly about progress.

Sessions focus on what the person wants to change. Cheryl can help with issues such as abandonment and attachment concerns, body image, caregiver stress, and coping with chronic pain or illness. She also supports people dealing with communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, and feelings of guilt or shame.

Cheryl offers guidance for times of transition, including midlife change, questions about life purpose and financial stress. She works with people struggling with isolation, impulsivity, or difficulty forgiving themselves or others. Conversations aim to be practical and down to earth so people can try things between sessions.

If something important is not listed, she encourages a short conversation to see if she might be a good fit. Cheryl uses her NCPS credential as part of her professional standing in the UK and tailors sessions to each person's situation.

How Cheryl’s approaches translate to online work

Cheryl uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasise practical conversation and goal setting. One common approach involves pacing talks around current worries and habits, helping people notice small patterns and try different responses; this is useful for stress, anxiety and low mood. Another approach focuses on relationship and attachment concerns, talking through how past experiences shape current reactions and practising healthier ways of relating.

Finding the right approach usually happens together. Cheryl will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then choose ways of working that suit them. The process is collaborative and may change as work progresses.

Many people find online therapy helps fit sessions into busy lives because it can reduce travel and allow easier scheduling. Before booking, confirm the specific session formats available, as the biography does not list them. Cheryl aims to make sessions practical and easy to fit around work, caregiving and daily routines, so conversation, goal setting and short check-ins can be arranged to suit the individual.
