Cheryl McCabe, BACP

Cheryl McCabe is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of formal counselling experience and many more years supporting people with mental health. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger, low self-esteem and loss. Sessions are offered in English and she does not work with international clients.

Cheryl uses a gentle, interactive style. She is willing to ask direct questions at times and will also sit quietly when reflection is needed. She says a sense of humour matters and aims to be straightforward and real in sessions.

Client-Centred Therapy is the main approach she uses. That means the client’s perspective guides the work and the counsellor follows the person’s pace. Cheryl also brings creativity into sessions when words alone aren’t enough.

She describes herself as parts- and trauma-aware, recognising that people can carry different inner parts and experiences. All parts of a person are welcomed in the room and explored without judgement.

Cheryl emphasises that clients are the experts on their own stories and that therapy is a collaborative process. She does not promise a fixed outcome but draws on her experience to support people as they tackle anger, grief, motivation, ADHD-related concerns and other life challenges.

To begin, Cheryl asks that prospective clients use the site process to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. She aims to make those first steps straightforward and invites questions before booking.
