Cheryl Mcgann, NCPS

Cheryl Mcgann is a counsellor with 15 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and holds the NCPS credential. She offers straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or low mood. Cheryl aims to create a respectful, compassionate space where clients can begin to make changes at their own pace.

Cheryl commonly helps with relationship difficulties and problems stemming from trauma and abuse. She also supports people with confidence and self-esteem concerns, and those facing life changes such as divorce or midlife reassessment. Additional areas she works on include caregiver stress, chronic illness and issues around attachment and abandonment.

Her working style is practical and person-focused. Sessions are adapted to what each person needs, with straightforward conversation and collaborative planning. Cheryl emphasises listening first, then helping to set realistic steps forward that fit daily life.

She encourages a short initial conversation to see if there is a good match. That chat is a chance to describe the difficulty and ask about how sessions are arranged. Cheryl wants clients to feel understood and to leave sessions with manageable next steps.

People who choose Cheryl are often looking for calm, steady support and clear ways to manage difficult feelings. She invites prospective clients to consider a brief matching questionnaire and an initial booking to find out if her approach fits their needs.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online care

Cheryl uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people cope with everyday difficulties. One common approach focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behaviour that make stress and low mood worse, then trying small, doable changes to reduce their impact. This can help with anxiety, depression, and confidence issues.

Another frequently used method centres on understanding attachment and relationship patterns. It involves looking at how past relationships shape current reactions and communication, and practising different ways of connecting and setting boundaries. This can be useful for relationship problems and feelings of abandonment.

Finding the right technique is part of the work. Cheryl treats the choice of approach as collaborative and will help clients decide what fits their needs, goals and preferences. She listens to what matters most and adjusts the plan as things change.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session formats before booking as the biography does not list them. Many people find remote counselling helps fit therapy into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, making it easier to schedule around work, or offering shorter check-ins when needed. Discuss practical arrangements during the initial matching step so sessions can be shaped to everyday routines.
