Cheryl Mcgann, NCPS

Cheryl Mcgann is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with more than 15 years of professional experience. She holds the NCPS credential and has worked with people facing a wide range of emotional and life difficulties. Cheryl aims to create a respectful and compassionate space where people can talk through what matters most to them.

She helps with common struggles such as stress and anxiety, low mood and depression, and challenges around self-esteem and confidence. Relationship concerns and the effects of trauma and abuse are also areas she supports. Cheryl lists many related issues she can address, including abandonment, attachment matters, body image, caregiver strain, chronic illness and pain, and problems with communication.

Sessions are shaped to each person’s situation rather than following a fixed formula. Cheryl adapts the pace and focus to match what feels useful for the individual. She emphasises practical steps alongside exploring the feelings behind difficult patterns.

People who come for help can expect a straightforward, empathetic approach and a focus on small, achievable changes. Cheryl acknowledges that taking the first step is often hard and offers steady support through the process. A short conversation can help clarify whether her way of working is a good fit for your needs.

Cheryl works in English and practises in the United Kingdom. She is not accepting international clients. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Approaches and online therapy that suit your life

Cheryl uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on clear, practical work and emotional understanding. One common approach is short-term problem-focused work that helps identify unhelpful patterns and builds alternative ways of coping; this can be useful for stress, anxiety, and day-to-day relationship issues. Another strand of her work emphasises exploring past hurts and attachment patterns to understand how earlier experiences shape current relationships and self-worth; this helps with trauma, abandonment concerns, and difficulties with closeness.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Cheryl will work with each person to decide which method feels most helpful, adjusting the focus as progress is made and goals change. The aim is to match techniques to the person’s needs and preferences rather than sticking to a single formula.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for many people. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation without travel, phone sessions can fit into busy days or require less bandwidth, live chat suits quick check-ins or ongoing reflection, and text-based messaging works for shorter, flexible exchanges. These options make it easier to keep therapy ongoing around work, caregiving, or mobility limits while still getting consistent professional support.
