I offer evening and weekend appointments in addition to day time availability.

I also offer a free initial telephone consultation

Hi my name is Cheryl

Life can be challenging and sometimes very lonely, even when we are surrounded by people. I am a friendly and supportive therapist who works with death, loss and trauma. I support Clients with complex trauma which is where a lot of my further training has been and I provide a space to explore issues, both past and present - nothing is too big or too small we all need support.

I offer confidential and affordable one to one counselling in Verwood. Sometimes it can be difficult to access services for reasons of mobility or anxiety and therefore I can also offer online or over the telephone sessions. We can work together to ensure that counselling is tailored to what suits you best.

This is your journey and if you feel I can help please do get in touch, with this in mind I do provide a free telephone call

Part of counselling is having a relationship where you feel able to be honest, vulnerable and yourself. This may not be instant but grows with time and from a place where you feel accepted. The counselling relationship that we can develop together builds a warm, safe and supportive space which is just for you. Talking things through with someone who is not part of your life, and who has no vested interest gives you a freedom to express and explore your experience.

First sessions are a chance for us to get to know one another.  It is a chance for us to look at things you would like to gain from therapy.

It give you a chance to any questions you may have and also just to get use to the space and the feel of therapy
