Cheryl Fenech-Soler, BACP

Cheryl Fenech-Soler is a British counsellor with eight years' experience supporting people through difficult life moments. She holds BACP accreditation, and she approaches therapy with warmth and practical focus. Cheryl aims to help people gain clarity and build everyday skills to manage stress and distress.

She creates a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk openly about what matters to them. Sessions are personalised to each person rather than following one fixed method. Cheryl listens closely and helps identify small changes that make life easier.

Her work covers common concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress and grief. She also supports people facing trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy-related issues, addictions and parenting challenges. Other focus areas include sleep and eating difficulties, self-esteem, career dilemmas, bipolar and ADHD related worries.

Cheryl uses a mix of approaches to suit the person in front of her. She draws on client-centred listening, psychodynamic thinking about past patterns, and solution-focused tools to set clear goals. This blend helps people understand underlying causes while also working toward immediate improvements.

Sessions aim to be straightforward and goal oriented. Cheryl helps people break problems into manageable steps and practise new ways of coping. Her style is compassionate, down-to-earth and geared towards practical progress.

How Cheryl's approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and helping people discover their own solutions; it is useful for anxiety, low mood and self-esteem struggles. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past relationships and early patterns affect present feelings and behaviours, which can help with repeating relationship issues or long-standing emotional difficulties. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on setting clear, practical goals and developing small steps that lead to noticeable change, which many people find helpful for stress, day-to-day problems and practical challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Cheryl will discuss options with each person and adapt methods to fit their needs, goals and preferences. This collaborative process means the plan can change as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, giving flexibility to fit different lifestyles. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller interaction is helpful. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a good short check-in. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter updates or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, family and travel commitments, and to keep regular contact over time.
