Cheryl Clokey, BACP

Cheryl Clokey helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship problems, family tensions, grief and loss. She also offers support for depression and related concerns such as low mood and isolation. Cheryl is based in the United Kingdom and brings three years of professional practice to her work.

Cheryl aims to treat everyone she meets with respect, sensitivity and compassion. She focuses on tailoring conversations and plans to each person's situation rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method. Sessions are collaborative and paced to match what the client feels ready for.

In practice she works alongside people to clarify what matters most to them. That might mean talking through ways to reduce daily stress, improving communication with a family member, or finding ways to cope with bereavement. Cheryl emphasises practical steps as well as emotional support during these talks.

She also pays attention to wider life issues that can affect wellbeing, like ageing concerns, body image, chronic illness or disability, and difficulties caused by prejudice or discrimination. Cheryl will adapt the focus as needs change over time.

Cheryl holds BACP registration, which reflects her professional standing in the UK. She invites anyone considering counselling to take the first step, and will work with people to set clear, achievable goals for therapy.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Cheryl uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical ways to feel better. One common approach she uses helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and try alternative, more balanced ways of thinking to reduce anxiety and low mood. Another approach emphasises problem solving and practical coping strategies for everyday stressors, chronic health issues and family difficulties.

Choosing the right way to work together is part of the process. Cheryl will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals and preferences. She regularly checks in and adapts the approach as progress is made or priorities change.

Practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions into a busy week and avoiding travel time. Online work can make it easier to hold a shorter check-in between appointments or to keep continuity when life is unpredictable.
