About Cheri
Cheri Gillings is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with six years of professional therapeutic experience. She works with people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety and depression, and supports those recovering from addictions or struggling with self-esteem, motivation and career pressures. She also works with issues around relationships, grief, trauma and guilt and shame.
Her approach is straightforward and person-focused. Sessions aim to give space to talk through thoughts and feelings without judgment. She uses practical methods to help people notice what matters to them and make changes that fit their life.
Cheri draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at how thoughts and behaviours affect mood and action. She also uses client-centred techniques to build understanding, and mindfulness and solution-focused tools to develop clear steps forward.
In sessions she listens for patterns that keep someone stuck and then helps set small, achievable goals. This can include short exercises between meetings, new ways of noticing thoughts, or practical ideas to manage cravings and low mood. The work is collaborative and paced to what the person is ready to try.
Cheri offers work for adults in the UK and holds registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not accept international clients. Before booking, confirm current session formats and practical details via the online matching steps.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and choose actions that fit their values. It can be useful for guilt, shame, anxiety and making changes that matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviours to change mood and habits. It is often used for anxiety, depression and addictive behaviours.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cheri will discuss different methods with the client and decide together what to try based on goals and how someone prefers to work. That collaborative decision can shift as progress is made or new challenges arise.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Registered or accredited professionals often use online sessions to maintain continuity of care and to offer flexible appointment times that better match everyday life.
