About Cheryl
Cheryl Fenech-Soler is a counsellor and psychotherapist who offers a calm, practical way into therapy. She introduces herself simply and warmly, and invites people to take the first step when life feels overwhelming. Cheryl's style is steady and responsive, aiming to help people find clarity and practical tools for everyday challenges.
She works with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, stress, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and addictions. She also supports people with relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting worries, eating and sleeping problems, anger and self-esteem.
Background and approach
Cheryl lists LGBT among the areas she addresses and notes experience with neurodiversity-related matters such as autism and attention difficulties. Cheryl uses a blend of approaches rather than a single method. Her practice draws on client-centred conversations, psychodynamic thinking about past patterns, and solution-focused techniques to set short-term goals.
Sessions are shaped around what the individual needs in the moment. She has eight years of clinical experience and holds BACP as a credential. Cheryl works with adults and children, and has experience supporting people dealing with loss, attachment challenges and childhood trauma.
Her tone is compassionate and non-judgemental, aimed at helping clients build confidence and emotional coping skills. If someone wants to begin, Cheryl asks them to complete a short questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to her availability. The process is straightforward and intended to help people find a good match before committing to regular meetings.

How Cheryl’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own experience and aims to create a listening, non-judgemental space. It helps when someone needs to be heard and to make sense of difficult feelings.Psychodynamic Therapy looks at recurring patterns and how past relationships shape present behaviour. It can help people understand why they repeat the same difficulties and where those patterns began.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on clear, practical steps and short-term goals. It is useful for people who want to make small, measurable changes fairly quickly.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cheryl will collaborate with each person to agree what feels most helpful, and adjust the plan as needs and goals evolve. This is done together rather than imposed.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time, which can make it easier to attend consistently. Online work can also allow shorter check-ins when needed or sessions that suit quieter surroundings and less bandwidth. The original biography does not list which online or in-person formats are offered, so confirm the available session types before booking to ensure they meet your needs.
