About me
Hello, I'm Cheryl. I'm an experienced psychotherapist and clinical supervisor, committed to providing a warm, supportive and confidential space where you can explore the challenges you're facing at your own pace.
My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to your individual needs. Alongside my extensive experience, I have undertaken specialist training in Christian-based counselling. This developed from recognising that many clients were seeking support with spiritual or faith-related questions alongside their emotional wellbeing. Whether your faith is central to your life or simply one aspect of your personal journey, I can offer a respectful space to explore these issues. Equally, I welcome clients of all faiths and none, and my practice is inclusive and non-judgemental.
I understand that attending face-to-face sessions isn't always possible or comfortable. That's why I also offer counselling by telephone or online, allowing you to access professional therapeutic support in a way that feels safe, convenient. Many people find these approaches just as effective as in-person therapy. while offering greater flexibility to fit around everyday life.
Whatever brought you to counselling, my aim is to help you feel heard, understood, and supported as we work together towards greater clarity, resilience and wellbeing.

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.

Further information
Having worked and volunteered for various caregiving charities over a 25 year period has given me an insight into helping people. I am passionate about working alongside you to explore the past, present and the future and will explore any blocks or issues in your life. And also looking at what might be useful to help you move forward. We live in a stressful world, creating lots of challenging issues and anxieties and I believe everyone deserves support and with the right support, positive change is possible for you.
