Sherylann Davies

Sherylann Davies is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief and relationship difficulties. She works with individuals who feel stuck, struggle with low mood or worry, or who are coping with life changes. She uses straightforward, non-judgemental language to make it easier to talk about painful or private issues.

Sherylann trained and practices as an integrative counsellor and is an Accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP. She blends elements from different approaches such as cognitive behavioural ideas, solution-focused work and humanistic listening, choosing what fits each person. She has 15 years of experience and has supported people through trauma, bereavement and attachment difficulties.

Her approach is warm and direct. Sessions are aimed at spotting strengths, naming patterns and testing small changes that can make daily life easier. She also works with issues such as addiction, intimacy problems, self-harm, eating or sleeping difficulties, guilt, shame and issues related to HIV and end-of-life concerns.

Sherylann says a good working relationship is central. She aims to create an open space where people can talk honestly and explore options at their own pace. Her practice focuses on helping people find practical ways to move forward and feel more able to cope.

To begin a conversation she asks people to take the first step and reach out when they feel ready. The emphasis is on steady progress, personal choice and working together towards clearer next steps.

Approaches that translate to online support

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect current connections; it helps when trust, intimacy or abandonment concerns make relationships feel difficult. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the centre, offering empathic listening and space to make sense of feelings and choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviours that maintain distress and uses practical steps to reduce anxiety, low mood and unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with the person about their needs and goals and together they will test which methods suit them best. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed prescription, and approaches can be blended as progress unfolds.

If you are considering online work, please confirm current session options before booking because formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around daily life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when that helps. They can also allow people to join from a quieter location or avoid camera use if that feels better, depending on what the counsellor currently offers.
