About Cheri

Counsellor (BACP), 6 years' experience. Cheri Gillings helps people with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions and confidence. She also supports career and executive coaching and work around relationships and loss.

Cheri uses straightforward conversation to clarify what is causing strain. She creates time each session to notice thoughts and feelings, and then looks at practical steps people can take between meetings. Sessions focus on spotting patterns, trying new responses, and building small skills that fit everyday life.

Her approach blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and client-centred work. Mindfulness and solution-focused techniques are used when they fit a person's goals. The methods are chosen to match what someone wants to change and how they prefer to work.

Cheri has particular experience supporting people with addiction recovery, compassion fatigue, bipolar and eating concerns, and people coping with grief or trauma. She also works with issues such as attachment, codependency, infidelity and family of origin problems.

Sessions are conducted in English and run from the United Kingdom. Fees vary by location and are delivered through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How Cheri uses evidence-based approaches in online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that reflect their values. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and life changes where behaviour and values need aligning.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thinking patterns and trying practical experiments to shift reactions. It is commonly applied to anxiety, depression and stress-related difficulties.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Cheri will discuss goals and preferences with each person and choose approaches together. That collaborative process helps decide whether to use ACT, CBT, mindfulness or solution-focused ideas in sessions.

The original biography does not list which session formats are offered. Please confirm current session options before booking. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals adapt online work to suit someone's schedule and the practical ways they want to engage.
