Cherie Smallbones MBACP

About me

I am a qualified and experienced counsellor offering confidential talking therapy to individuals across North Hampshire. I run friendly and confidential sessions in three locations; Andover, Basingstoke and Stockbridge.

We all experience various challenges, stresses and pains throughout life. When we feel distressed and overwhelmed, talking with a trained listener can help to make sense of the problem, find ways of coping and find a way to move forward. Talking with a counsellor can make a big difference to how we think and feel.

I have experience working a with number of wide-ranging and primary problems such as:

• Anxiety/Depression
• Addiction/Substance misuse
• Bereavement, Grief and all types of loss
• Low self esteem/Lack of confidence
• Workplace issues/Stress/Work life balance
• Relationship issues/Breakups/Marital issues/Arguments/Divorce/Affairs
• Loneliness/Life adjustments/Life transitions

I provide a flexible but dynamic approach in a safe and supportive space; together we can explore what is causing your issues and identify the parts you would like to understand more or change.

My approach is warm and friendly and I am focused on providing the right environment for you to talk in complete confidence to me about what is causing you distress. The most therapeutic element of counselling is in the relationship between us and how it feels for us to work together.

All conversations are supportive, non-judgemental and confidential. To book your first appointment you can either call me on 07395 273997 or email here

I look forward to hearing from you.
