Cheryl Ennis, BACP

Cheryl Ennis is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach to help people understand the emotional challenges they face. She combines warmth and practical tools to address issues such as anxiety, depression and relationship stress. Cheryl draws on nine years of experience and holds BACP registration, which she uses to guide ethical practice.

Cheryl aims to create an open atmosphere where people feel able to speak honestly. She often uses cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. Attachment-based ideas inform how she thinks about patterns in relationships and intimacy.

Her work covers a wide range of concerns including grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, anger and low self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with parenting strains, sleep or eating difficulties, and career or life-change stresses. Additional focus areas include body image, guilt and shame, loneliness and panic attacks.

Sessions are practical and straightforward. Cheryl helps people set clear goals and practises strategies in session that can be used between meetings. She can use motivational interviewing techniques when people want help making changes.

Cheryl has spent nine years working with adults across different life stages and settings. She welcomes international clients who prefer to work in English and adapts her style to each persons needs.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How these approaches translate to online counselling

Attachment-based work focuses on how people form emotional bonds and how past relationship patterns affect current feelings and reactions; it helps with intimacy-related issues and relationship stress. Client-centred counselling places the persons experience at the heart of sessions and emphasises listening, acceptance and helping people make sense of their feelings. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns such as panic attacks or persistent anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Cheryl will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that match what each person needs. That collaborative process means the approach can shift as progress is made or priorities change.

If you are considering online work, confirm the available session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow a quieter check-in during a lunch break or between other commitments. They also let people choose whether to work with a counsellor who has experience in the approaches described above.
