About Sherylann

Sherylann Davies is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and many other life challenges. She works with individuals who feel stuck, struggle with low mood, or are coping with trauma and loss. Sherylann uses a warm, non-judgemental style to make it easier to talk about difficult things.

She follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy framework and holds BACP accreditation. Sherylann draws on 15 years of experience to guide conversations and practical steps forward. Her background includes work with adults and couples and direct experience supporting people affected by physical, sexual and emotional abuse.

In sessions she blends approaches to suit each person. That might mean listening with a client-centred focus, using steps from cognitive behavioural work, or identifying short-term goals with solution-focused techniques. She also uses attachment-based ideas when relationships and patterns of relating are central to the concern.

Sherylann has specialist interest in trauma, grief and bereavement, anxiety and attachment issues. She also supports people dealing with addictions, obsessions, anger, parenting strain, career changes and long-term illness concerns such as HIV or hospice care.

Her way of working is practical and paced to the individual. She aims to help people spot strengths, try new strategies and move towards clearer choices. To begin, she asks people to describe what they want to change and then plans the next steps together.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding the person and their experience. The therapist offers empathic listening and reflection so clients can find their own pace and direction, helpful for low mood, relationship strain and grief.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at the ways early relationships shape current patterns. It helps when trust, intimacy or repeated relationship problems are the main concern by exploring those patterns and possible new ways of relating.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and small behaviour changes that can ease anxiety or low mood. CBT often focuses on short-term tasks and practical steps to test new approaches between sessions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and then agree a plan together. This collaborative process helps tailor sessions to what each person wants to get from counselling.

Confirm the available session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for quicker check-ins when needed. Different ways of meeting can suit different needs, for example shorter check-ins when time is limited or audio-only conversations if bandwidth is low.
