Cheryl Crowle, BACP

Cheryl Crowle is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She brings three years of professional counselling experience and a long background in education and mental health to her practice. Cheryl aims to make the first step less daunting by offering a calm, approachable presence.

Cheryl helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, bipolar difficulties, relationship strain, and the effects of trauma or abuse. She also supports those dealing with abandonment, adoption and foster care questions, attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, and challenges tied to chronic illness or caregiving. Conversations focus on what matters most to each person and on practical steps they can try between sessions.

She uses a client-centred approach that puts the person's experience at the heart of the work. That means listening carefully, reflecting what is said, and helping clients find their own solutions rather than directing them. Cheryl emphasises understanding feelings first, then building on personal strengths to move forward.

Sessions can include talking through difficult memories, practising ways to manage anxiety and stress, and planning realistic changes for relationships or daily life. Cheryl draws on her experience in education and mental health to explain things plainly and offer pragmatic ideas.

People who value a warm, down-to-earth counsellor may find her style reassuring. She encourages honest conversation and helps clients make choices that fit their values and goals.

Client-centred counselling online and what to expect

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what a person says. The aim is to help people feel heard and understood so they can identify their own choices and next steps. This approach can be particularly helpful for stress, relationship difficulties, trauma reactions, and building self-esteem.

Cheryl's background in education and mental health shapes how she works online: she pays attention to each person's story and offers practical suggestions that link to everyday life. Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels manageable, then adapt the way sessions run to match those needs.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone calls need less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text messaging helps people reflect over time. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family, or mobility needs while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
