Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ll get straight to the point—I needed help understanding what was happening in my life. I felt like I was spiralling, losing my confidence, and was almost completely broken. I booked a session with Cheryl, half terrified of what I might discover about myself. Instead, I found someone who was incredibly reassuring, compassionate, and supportive. She helped me gain clarity, make sense of my situation, and, for the first time in a long while, I felt truly seen and validated. She also offered practical guidance on how to recenter myself, and I left the session feeling immensely empowered. Thank you, Cheryl, for changing the way I see myself, helping me rediscover my confidence, and giving me hope again.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can't recommend Cheryl enough! She is an incredible listener and creates such a safe, supportive space tailored specifically to women. Working with her helped me realize so much about myself and my own patterns that I couldn't see before. She is asking exactly the right questions and gave me practical tools to stop putting myself last and finally trust my own judgment. If you’re a woman looking for a therapist who genuinely understands our unique challenges and life transitions, definitely reach out to her. 💜

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I worked with Cheryl at a really difficult time in my life and I’m so glad I found her. From the first Zoom call she just understood what I was dealing with without me having to over explain anything. She has a way of making you feel comfortable straight away but also being honest in a way that actually helps you see things clearly. I felt supported the whole way through and every session gave me more clarity and strength within myself. Cheryl is very knowledgeable and genuinely cares about the people she works with. I’m really grateful for her help and the difference she’s made for me and I honestly can’t recommend her enough.

You May Be Here Because
Many of the women I work with have experienced long-term emotional strain or relationship trauma, including narcissistic abuse or growing up with emotionally immature parents. Others come to therapy during midlife or significant life transitions, noticing patterns of self-doubt, emotional overwhelm, or a loss of identity that no longer make sense.
- Chronic self-blame, people-pleasing, or difficulty trusting your own judgement
- Feeling emotionally exhausted, anxious, overwhelmed, or constantly on edge
- Relationship trauma, narcissistic abuse, or repeating patterns that leave you feeling unseen, responsible, or not enough
- Difficult parent relationships, family guilt, emotional neglect, or struggling to create boundaries with loved ones
- Childhood trauma or past emotional wounds resurfacing in adult life
- ADHD in women, including overwhelm, emotional intensity, rejection sensitivity, or difficulty regulating stress
- Questioning “Who am I now?” during motherhood, menopause, midlife, relocation, expat life, or other major life transitions
Reconnecting With Yourself
If any of this feels familiar, you’re not broken and you’re not alone. What you’re describing is usually the result of years of adapting, just about managing, and putting yourself last. Therapy gives you the space to stop doing that, even just for an hour a week.
My approach weaves together psychotherapy, nervous-system work, and mind-body practice. Real change happens in the body and mind which is why it’s so important to respect both. Together we work at a pace that feels right for you, building self-trust, emotional steadiness, and a clearer sense of who you actually are underneath all of it.
My Therapeutic Approach
My work is trauma-informed, feminist and integrative, utilising a range of evidence-based modalities. I work this way because different women need different tools and because the most lasting change tends to happen when we work with both the patterns in your thinking and the ones held in your nervous system.
Therapy is not about fixing you. It’s about understanding what’s been shaping your responses, your relationships, and your sense of self and giving you what you need to respond differently when you’re ready.
