Cherine Ennis

Cherine Ennis is a BACP counsellor who uses a person-centred approach alongside cognitive behavioural ideas to support people through distressing times. She focuses on helping people manage anxiety, depression, panic attacks and challenges to self-esteem. Cherine aims to create a warm, respectful space where people feel able to talk through hard things and begin to make helpful changes.

Cherine has six years of experience working with people facing grief, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, and difficulties with intimacy and eating. She also supports people coping with life changes, addiction concerns, anger and parenting strains. Her background includes helping clients affected by loss, cultural issues and domestic abuse, and those living with autism-like challenges.

In sessions she builds trust quickly and works alongside each person to agree practical steps. That might involve looking at unhelpful thinking patterns with cognitive behavioural techniques, or prioritising listening and reflection through a client-centred way of working. The emphasis is on short, clear goals people can try between sessions.

Cherine treats practical problems such as communication breakdowns, control issues and isolation, and explores feelings like guilt, shame or abandonment when these come up. She also addresses specific issues including postpartum depression, panic disorder and concerns linked to ageing or veterans where relevant.

People who choose Cherine are offered straightforward, respectful support that aims to help them feel more able to cope. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

How Cherine applies talking therapy online

Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said and helps people make sense of feelings. This approach is useful when someone needs a calm, accepting space to talk through grief, identity or relationship worries.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try practical experiments to change them. CBT is often chosen for anxiety, panic and low mood because it gives clear tools to use between sessions.

Finding the right approach tends to be collaborative. Cherine will work with each person to agree what to try first and check in regularly. Goals are practical and can be adjusted as progress is made, so the plan stays relevant to the person's needs and preferences.

Session formats are not specified here, so it is best to confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into work or family life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find that having therapy where they already are helps them maintain momentum between appointments.
