About me
Hi, I’m Cheryl.
If life feels heavy right now, you don’t have to face it alone.
Grief, trauma and loss can leave you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, numb, exhausted or unsure how to keep going. You may be grieving someone you love, preparing for a loss, living with the effects of childhood trauma, or carrying pain that others cannot fully see.
You do not need to have the right words or know where to begin. You can come exactly as you are.
I offer a calm, compassionate space where you can feel heard, understood and gently supported, without judgment or pressure. Together, we will work at your pace to make sense of what you are carrying and begin to find a way forward.
People often come to me when they are:
- grieving a death, including suicide or complex bereavement
- facing pre-bereavement or preparing for the loss of someone close
- living with trauma, childhood trauma or PTSD
- feeling anxious, low, isolated or overwhelmed
- However your pain is showing up, it matters. Your story matters.
I am a qualified trauma therapist and Senior Counsellor with a leading bereavement charity,
I work supporting adults, children and families through some of life’s most difficult moments.
I work integratively, tailoring therapy to you, your experiences and your needs.
You are not broken. You are human. And you do not have to do this alone.
If you feel ready to take that first step, I’ll be here

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
