Hi, I’m Cheryl, a registered psychotherapist and yoga master specialising in supporting women through life’s most significant transitions.
Born in Scotland and based in Asia for over a decade, I work with women (in Singapore and online globally) who are navigating the emotional and psychological shifts that redefine identity. This includes motherhood and menopause, relationship trauma and narcissistic abuse, relocation and expat life, ADHD and neurodivergence, and the long-term impact of emotional over-functioning.
My person-centred, integrative approach combines evidence-based psychotherapy, including CBT, DBT and psychodynamic therapy, with somatic and mindfulness-based practices.
Together, this supports nervous-system regulation, reconnection with the body, and the rebuilding of self-trust, helping you move forward with clarity, confidence and a stronger sense of self.
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.
You might recognise yourself in experiences such as:
If any of this feels familiar, know that you’re not alone — and that it’s possible to reconnect with yourself again.
Over time, the demands of relationships, roles, and change can quietly pull you away from your own sense of who you are. You may find yourself questioning your direction, your needs, or even your identity.
Therapy offers a calm, supportive space to pause and make sense of what’s happened, to understand yourself more deeply, and to begin rebuilding self-trust.
My integrative approach weaves together psychotherapy, nervous-system work, and mind–body practices to help you restore clarity, confidence, and emotional balance — so you can move forward feeling grounded, empowered, and more like yourself again.
Psychotherapy offers a confidential, professional space to explore how your past experiences — particularly early relationships — continue to shape your nervous system, emotions, and sense of self today.
My work is trauma-informed and integrative, supporting women to understand the roots of their difficulties and develop greater emotional stability and self-connection.
Therapy with me is about fostering change at a pace that feels safe, sustainable, and deeply personal.
