About Cheryl

Cheryl Mcgann is a counsellor registered with the NCPS in the United Kingdom and has worked in the field for 15 years. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. She also helps with issues such as abandonment, attachment, body image, caregiver strain, chronic illness and pain, and feelings of guilt and shame.

Her way of working is straightforward and practical. Sessions focus on what is troubling the person now and on useful steps to manage feelings and reactions. Cheryl aims to adapt sessions so they fit the person’s situation and what they can realistically try between meetings.

Cheryl draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people understand patterns and try different ways of responding. Conversations cover thoughts, emotions and behaviours together, with attention paid to relationships and life events that shape how someone feels. She encourages small experiments and changes that build over time.

She also works with practical stresses - money worries, caregiving demands and health-related limitations - alongside emotional concerns. When trauma or abuse is part of the picture, Cheryl looks at both safety and pacing, moving at a rate the person can manage.

Cheryl offers sessions in English from the UK. People interested in working with her are invited to start by completing the short matching questionnaire and then booking a first session to see how the sessions feel.

How her approaches translate to online work

She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful patterns. One common approach looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and helps people test new responses to anxiety or guilt. Another approach pays attention to attachment and relationship patterns, helping people see how early experiences shape current reactions and practising different ways of relating.

Finding the right way to work is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively with each person to choose which approaches to try, and will adjust methods based on the client’s goals and what feels most useful in sessions.

Practical benefits of online sessions can include fitting meetings around work, reducing travel time, and having a quicker check-in when life is busy. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can then match session structure and length to what the person needs and to their everyday routine.
