Cheri Gillings

Cheri Gillings is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction recovery, self-esteem struggles and career or executive coaching concerns. She offers a calm, non-judgemental presence and encourages people to take the first step toward a more satisfying life. Her approach emphasises listening and working at the client’s pace.

With six years of professional therapeutic experience, she uses methods that help people notice and change unhelpful patterns. She draws on Client-Centred Therapy to keep sessions focused on the client’s priorities. She also uses elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people develop practical tools for coping and decision making.

Sessions aim to create an open space for talking through painful experiences such as grief, trauma and relationship breakdown. Cheri also supports people dealing with family of origin issues, codependency, guilt and shame, and difficulties around commitment or infidelity. Work can include exploring values, setting small goals and practising new ways of reacting to stress.

Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She combines listening with practical steps, such as short exercises and mindfulness techniques, so people leave with something usable. Cheri encourages gradual change and helps build confidence to manage life transitions.

People can expect an approachable counsellor who balances empathy with active problem solving. She invites prospective clients to consider what matters most to them and to take the next step toward clearer thinking and steadier coping.
