Thanks everyone. Lots of great ideas and links.
In the end I looked at some UDF examples of similar functions and then 
wrote my own very simple UDF:

<cfscript>
function countChar(srchString, srchVal) {
   var charCount=0;
   var strLen=len(srchString);
   for (idx=1; idx LTE strLen; idx=idx+1) {
       if (mid(srchString, idx, 1) eq srchVal) {
           charCount = charCount + 1;
       }
   }
   return charCount; 
}
</cfscript>
