Cheryl Fenech-Soler, BACP

Cheryl Fenech-Soler is a counsellor with eight years' experience supporting people through difficult life moments. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Cheryl aims to make the first step easier and offers a calm, listening space for people who feel overwhelmed or uncertain.

Her approach is gentle and personalised. Sessions focus on understanding what matters to the individual, then building practical ways to cope. She helps people talk through anxiety, grief, stress and relationship concerns in straightforward language.

Cheryl uses a mix of methods to suit each person. She draws on client-centred work to follow the person's priorities, psychodynamic ideas to look at past patterns, and solution-focused techniques to set small, achievable goals. This blend is used to help with issues such as depression, trauma, addiction, and identity concerns.

People who need help with ageing and geriatric issues, caregiver strain, chronic illness, or life transitions will find relevant experience in her background. She also has experience with attachment difficulties, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and body image problems.

Sessions are carried out in a supportive, non-judgemental way that aims to increase clarity and coping. Cheryl works in English and can meet with international clients; prospective clients are asked to confirm available session formats when booking.

How Cheryl’s approaches shape online support

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and following what matters most to the person. It helps when someone needs a compassionate space to sort feelings and choose their own priorities. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that may come from earlier relationships and life events, which can help explain recurring difficulties and emotional reactions. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical changes and clear goals to build momentum and improve day-to-day functioning.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Cheryl will discuss options with each person and together they will decide what feels most helpful based on needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process often adapts over time as progress is made.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions more easily into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online work can make it simpler to have shorter check-ins, avoid camera use if preferred, or choose a time that suits work or caring responsibilities. The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the exact options available when booking to find arrangements that fit everyday life.
