Cheryl Fenech-Soler

Cheryl Fenech-Soler is a BACP counsellor with eight years' experience supporting people through distressing life events. She greets clients with a calm, approachable manner and aims to make first contact easier. Her style is warm and person-focused, helping people talk through what feels most urgent and practical in their day-to-day lives.

Cheryl offers a steady space to explore anxiety, stress, trauma, grief and relationship struggles. She also works with issues such as parenting strain, addiction, mood difficulties and concerns around self-esteem and intimacy. Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps rather than abstract theories.

Her background blends client-centred listening with psychodynamic ideas about past experience and solution-focused techniques for short-term change. This mix lets Cheryl help clients understand patterns from their past while also finding immediate strategies that work now. She explains options plainly and adapts to what each person needs.

People who choose Cheryl often want a compassionate, practical counsellor who pays attention to life context. She aims to build skills for managing emotions, improving sleep and facing anger or loss. The approach is collaborative and paced to the individual.

Cheryl works in the United Kingdom and offers help in English. She accepts international clients and has experience with a broad range of issues, including neurodiversity and attachment concerns. Prospective clients are invited to follow the Start Therapy workflow to complete a short questionnaire and arrange the first session.

Approaches that guide online and in-person work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person as they are. It aims to create an accepting space where clients can speak freely and decide what to focus on, which helps with self-esteem, relationship issues and emotional confusion.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that may come from past relationships and early life. It helps people notice repeated behaviours and feelings so they can choose different responses, which can be useful for attachment issues, long-standing anxiety and grief.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and what works now. It is goal-oriented and can help when someone wants quick ways to manage stress, sleep problems or day-to-day coping.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Cheryl will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. This is discussed openly in early sessions and adjusted over time as progress is reviewed.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, reduce travel time and support regular check-ins. It also allows for shorter reviews when needed and can suit quieter or lower-bandwidth arrangements that do not require being on camera.
