About me

Are you struggling with anxiety or feeling out of sorts and a little tearful at times, but you cannot put your finger on the reason as to why?  Do you find it hard to motivate yourself to get out of bed in the morning - or sleeping more than you "normally" would?   Having therapy is the first step to finding out the answers to these questions.

Hello and welcome to my profile page. I am Cheryl and I am an experienced and qualified Psychotherapist & Counsellor and I provide face to face and online counselling.  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. However, I can give you the space to be heard without feeling judged; a space where you can learn to understand yourself and your feelings.  

We can  all have difficult periods in our lives, and times where we feel overwhelmed or like there is nowhere to turn.  I provide a safe and confidential space for you to talk through your issues, to explore your thoughts and feelings and enable you to develop a better understanding of who you are and why you feel the way that you do.  

The kind of therapy I provide gives you the space and time to talk about things at your own pace and within  your agenda.  I will listen, and hear you in a non-judgemental, safe and confidential environment, where you and your feelings are at the heart of what matters.

You may feel that you do not know where to start or what to say.  I am here to enable you to find your place to start, and walk with you until you feel that your journey is at its end.  I am passionate about counselling and abut helping people to understand their past, their present and their future. 

Making that first enquiry is an opportunity to ask any questions, learn more about counselling and see how you feel when talking to me. 

I am ready if you are.

Next Steps

I am happy to talk to you about your needs and explain how I work.  Call or message, whatever you feel more comfortable with.  I look forward to hearing from you.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy

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).
