Cheryl Crowle , BACP

Cheryl Crowle is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years of professional counselling experience in the UK. She also brings 25 years of background work in education and mental health. Cheryl aims to offer a warm, approachable presence so people feel able to talk about difficult things.

She supports people struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and mood concerns such as bipolar. She also helps with relationship worries, low self-esteem and anger, and works with issues linked to abandonment and attachment.

Cheryl draws on a client-centred approach that puts the person’s experience first. Sessions focus on listening, reflecting back what is said and helping clients make choices that suit their lives. The therapist encourages people to move at their own pace while exploring feelings and options.

Her experience includes working with autism, attention differences and other educational needs, plus long-term involvement with mental health in educational settings. Cheryl uses that background to inform practical conversations about daily life, routines and supports.

People who choose Cheryl can expect a calm and non-judgemental space to talk. She invites clients to identify what matters most to them and to try small steps towards change. The first sessions are used to understand current struggles and agree on goals together.

Client-centred care and online options

Cheryl works from a client-centred perspective which means the conversation starts with the person and their experience. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is shared and helps people make choices that match their values and goals. This approach is often helpful for anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship concerns and trauma-related distress.

Her work in education and mental health settings also informs practical, everyday support. That background can be useful for people navigating autism, attention differences, caregiver stress or ongoing health conditions. Cheryl treats the therapeutic relationship as a collaboration and will discuss which ways of working feel most helpful for each person.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that matters, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people write when it fits their day. Many people find these options make it easier to fit therapy around work, education and family routines, and Cheryl will work with each client to choose the format that best meets their needs.
