Carl Jung said, “I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become.

Hi, I'm Sheryl a
Person Centred Counsellor, incorporating Family Constellations.
Providing a safe, compassionate, and non-judgemental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace. Where helpful, I also integrate Family Constellation work, offering a gentle way to explore family patterns and relationships, supporting deeper understanding and personal growth.
My approach is collaborative, focusing on both what is said and what may be difficult to express. I aim to help you uncover patterns, gain clarity, and find your own solutions to life’s challenges. Alongside talking therapy, I use creative and experiential tools such as guided meditation, therapeutic cards, and sand tray work, tailoring sessions to your individual needs.
With over ten years of experience in bereavement, palliative care, sexual violence support, anxiety, and depression, I bring professional expertise and genuine empathy to every session. I understand that every journey is unique, and I consider it a privilege to walk alongside clients as they explore, heal, and grow.
Whether your goal is self-acceptance, building healthy boundaries, healing past wounds, or finding purpose, I am here to support you in a safe, supportive space, helping you move toward meaningful change.
Some Commonly Asked Questions

Together, we’ll explore your feelings and thought processes, helping you uncover your own solutions. I don’t give direct advice; my role is to support you in finding your own path.
How much do sessions cost?

Weekly sessions are widely recommended as they help address ongoing challenges, track progress, and build a trusting therapeutic relationship.
Short-term or long-term therapy – which is right for me?
This depends on your needs. Together, we’ll create a personalised approach, whether short-term support or deeper, long-term work is most suitable.
What if I’m having a bad day and don’t feel like attending?
It’s normal to feel this way sometimes. Attending sessions, even on tough days, can bring clarity and insight, helping you feel supported when you need it most.
