Cheryl Fenech-Soler , BACP

Cheryl Fenech-Soler is a counsellor with eight years of experience in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP accreditation, and she works with adults on a wide range of concerns. Cheryl aims to make first steps into therapy feel manageable and straightforward.

Cheryl creates a calm space where people can talk without being judged. She listens closely and helps clients make sense of their feelings. Sessions are shaped around what each person needs, rather than a fixed formula.

Her practice addresses stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting pressures and relationship difficulties. Cheryl also supports people with issues around self-esteem, addiction, eating and sleeping, anger, bipolar and ADHD concerns. She works with additional challenges such as attachment difficulties, body image and chronic illness related stress.

Cheryl uses client-centred, psychodynamic and solution-focused ways of working. That means she will help you explore how past experiences affect you now, centre your own goals, and identify small practical steps to try between sessions. The mix is tailored to each person and to the problem at hand.

She offers therapy in English and accepts international clients. Sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging. Cheryl encourages people to take things at their own pace and to set clear, achievable goals for therapy.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-centred therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens without judgement and follows the client’s pace, helping them name and make sense of feelings. This approach suits people who need space to process emotions and build self-understanding.

Psychodynamic work looks at patterns that come from earlier relationships and life events. It helps people see how the past influences present reactions and relationships, which can be useful for long-standing anxieties, attachment issues and recurring difficulties.

Solution-focused therapy concentrates on goals and small practical steps. Sessions identify what is already working and build brief, realistic plans to move forward, which can be helpful for stress, practical life problems and short-term goals.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that match a person's needs, goals and preferences. Clients and the therapist review progress together and adjust the plan as required.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video calls let people use facial cues and conversation, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can suit quick check-ins or those who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, family and travel commitments while keeping continuity of care.
