Specialities
Grief, Loss, Self-Esteem, Spiritual or Personal Development,
Managing Significant Life Changes and Crisis, Anxiety and Depression, Supervision of Pastoral Carers.
Adults 18+
Sheryl believes that a good counselling relationship can really help to move people out of feeling stuck in negative emotions, which may be holding them back from experiencing life to the full. She feels that it is a great privilege to be included in the support circle of her clients, and she loves to walk with people through their challenges, providing a safe and caring environment for change and growth.
She understands through personal experience, that people going through grief and loss, depression and/or anxiety, can be poorly understood. Sheryl works to understand, encourage, affirm and validate her clients wherever they may be in their journey. She also gently challenges people to explore new avenues of personal development, bolster self-confidence and self-esteem, and to consider new concepts or ways of being.
Sheryl works with adults 18+ and particularly enjoys working with adults 18-30 in their crucial identity phase of life.
Modalities: Client-centred, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Psychotherapy and Emotionally Focused Therapy for Individuals.
