Cherie Deakin

I am a trauma-informed, relational psychotherapist. My practice has been informed by a career of supporting people spanning 26 years. I use evidence-based theory and techniques derived from contemporary trauma research, neuroscience, combined with psychodynamic and humanistic therapy.

I provide opportunities within therapy to create safe spaces with clients. In these safe spaces, we can explore how to develop ways of gaining control of upsetting or disturbing thoughts and feelings: how the past affects our present and how to interrupt repeating cycles of experiences that cause us suffering. In order to provide this form of therapy, I have received rigorous and lengthy evidence-based training at undergraduate and postgraduate level. I am qualified to work with adults and young people aged 12 and over on a short-term or long-term basis.
