Hi I’m Cheryl,
I am a psychologist who is passionate about supporting neurodivergent and neurotypical clients alike to understand themselves, embrace their strengths, and navigate life in ways that feel authentic and sustainable. My approach is grounded in neuro-affirming care, which recognises the unique experiences, strengths, and challenges of each person and adapts therapy to work for you – not the other way around.
I prioritise creating a collaborative, respectful space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered. Therapy works best as a partnership, and I walk alongside you to develop insight, confidence, and practical strategies for managing challenges, building resilience, and fostering meaningful change.
I have broad experience across a range of presentations, including grief, trauma, adjustment difficulties, anxiety, depression, disordered eating, and neurodiversity. I especially enjoy supporting clients to make sense of their neurodivergent traits, recover from the impacts of trauma, and grow a sense of agency, self-compassion, and hope.
