About me and my therapy practice
I am an experienced psychotherapist/counsellor specialising in anxiety, depression, sexual abuse, trauma, PTSD and CPTSD, bereavement and loss, and relationship issues. I also have extensive experience of working within men’s mental health, in particularly historic sexual abuse. Whilst specialising in these areas, I also have experience in other non-specific difficulties that people face. Each of the people I work with has their own life experiences and their own individual, unique difficulties, all of which are as important as those which I have listed.
I am registered with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy and adhere to their Ethical Code of Practice. I work in a humanistic, person-centred way and offer a safe place to explore and make sense of your difficulties, in a calm and unhurried environment.
The type of therapy that I work with puts you at the centre of your experience and enables you to find your own way, in a non-judgemental, empathic, and confidential environment. I will help you to heal from your pain and enable you to move forward to where you want to be in your life whilst supporting you through every step of your journey and enabling you to become the person that you want to be.
Practice description
I understand that entering into therapy can feel a little daunting especially if you do not like using the phone or sending an email. And the thought of meeting a new person may feel overwhelming. During our initial contact, we can talk about what will happen during our sessions, what we may talk about, what your expected outcomes of the therapy might be and if necessary, how to connect in the future.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

I really enjoyed my session with Cheryl. She is empathic and a great listener. It felt good to have someone get me, like she did.
Cheryl is an incredibly skilled therapist, who has helped me go through exceptionally hard times. My mental health and understanding of my emotions have improved at breakneck speed thanks to her help. She is great at listening, supporting, reflecting and challenging ideas, depending on what is needed at any time. I could not recommend her more highly.
Cheryl is what every person hopes they will find when they look for a therapist. She is so understanding, sympathetic, non-judgmental. She listens to me and makes me feel so at ease. After every session, I feel so uplifted and she gives me that boost of confidence I need to tackle the issues I’m facing. Not only has Cheryl helped me more than any other person I’ve ever spoken to, she’s given me the tools to help myself more than I ever have before. I’m so thankful to have such an amazing therapist by my side
Cheryl is amazing. I've had many therapists over the years. but I've never had one that has understood my needs and my goals as much as Cheryl does. she challenges me when I need it. but she always gives me the secure space to feel my feeling too. She's helped me more in the past few months than anyone else has done in years and I can't thank her enough for it. Therapists like Cheryl are hard to find.
Cheryl is a warm, friendly and calm therapist who has a wealth of experience and is happy to share other resources with you. She is non judgemental and a great judge of where you are at on your journey and gives relevant and timely advice and encouragement.
I've only had a couple of session with Cheryl and I don't know how she understands me so much! She is so lovely and I look forward the rest of my sessions with her.
Cheryl actively listens to me and explains things I don't understand and why I feel the way I feel
Cheryl is empathetic and very supportive and provides meaningful insights into experiences and feelings.
