Cheryl Clokey

Cheryl Clokey is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strains, family conflict, grief and depression. Cheryl works with compassion and respect and aims to make the first steps towards change feel manageable.

She uses a conversational, person-centred style and adapts sessions to each person. Cheryl listens first and then tailors the way she talks and plans work together to fit the client's needs. Sessions are practical and focused on what matters to the individual.

Cheryl has three years of professional experience in the counselling field. During that time she has supported people through loss, helped repair communication troubles, and worked with mood concerns such as low mood and anxiety. She also has experience with issues tied to ageing, body image, chronic illness or pain, and postpartum difficulties.

Her approach aims to empower clients to make changes at their own pace. Cheryl emphasises clear goals, small steps and regular review so people can see progress. She encourages honesty and openness in session and supports clients as they practise new ways of coping.

To begin, Cheryl asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to her availability. She describes therapy as a collaborative process and works with each person to shape a plan that fits their life and priorities.

Approaches to help with anxiety, grief and relationship strain

Cheryl works from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional understanding. One common approach she uses helps people identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, then practises different responses to reduce anxiety and low mood. This kind of work is useful for stress, depression and anxiety symptoms.

Another approach concentrates on improving communication and relationships by practising clearer ways of talking and setting boundaries. This helps when family rows, trust issues or ongoing conflict leave people feeling stuck or isolated.

Finding the right method is part of the work. Cheryl will talk through options with each person and adapt the approach to fit their goals and preferences. She treats therapy as a collaborative process and checks in regularly to see what is working and what needs adjusting.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people join from different locations and keep continuity of care even when schedules change.
