Welcome to Clear Mind Therapy
I aim to provide a safe, empathic and non-judgemental environment in which people can talk about whatever they want, explore their experiences, discuss their problems and difficulties, decide what they want to change, and consider how to cope with what they can't change.

Very friendly and informative sessions booked with Cherie.

I came to Cherie after a difficult break up and at a time when i was feeling at my most vulnerable. I am not the type of person who feels vulnerable very often or, when i have, I’ve glossed over it; purposefully not taking the time to learn from it.

My profession as a mental health nurse was meant to protect me from the looming dark fog and i Had believed that i was just the right type of person to confront any dark feelings that would rear their ugly heads. What I wasn’t prepared for was the crushing loneliness and the deep sadness that fog brings with it. Despite my training, i knew I couldn’t do this alone. Cherie providing me with a space to just talk without judgement and allowed me to be vulnerable where i could be supported and uplifted in a very meaningful and caring way. She never told me what to do - i knew what i had to do - it was more like being guided down the right path.

I was apprehensive about being the patient for the first time in my life and very nearly didn’t pick up the phone when she rang. I am so glad that i did! I have learnt how to sit with the feelings, embrace them almost, and allow myself to feel everything one feeling at a time. I have learnt, in many respects, to love the person that i am and value the importance in me.

The dark fog still visits me from time to time, but it doesn’t weigh as heavy anymore. I continue to use the skills learnt from Cherie in my everyday life and will very likely come back for some “top-up” sessions when i feel the need to.

I would highly recommend Cherie if you are in need of someone to just listen and to navigate your jumbled thoughts. I have not yet come to the end of my journey, but i am so glad Cherie was there to be my guide.

Counselling

I am so grateful for Cheries help and support, I was holding onto a lot of resentment towards my mum which I was struggling to deal with on my own and being pregnant, I believe, was triggering more bad feeling. I was stuck in this spiral of negativity which no amount of self help could seem to fix and I knew I had to get help so I was emotionally avaliable for my baby when she arrived. I thankfully found Cherie who immediately put me at ease and I felt comfortable to open up to straight away, needless to say it didn't take long for me to feel better. I followed all of Cheries steps and amazing advice and I can honestly say I now feel lifted and my mind is totally peaceful ready for my little one to arrive. Thank you again Cherie, I am feeling stronger than ever now and it's a great feeling. More...

Cherie provided a comforting environment and guided me gently through my issues, making some insightful suggestions just at the right moments which led to a few small but significant revelations! I always looked forward to my sessions with Cherie who always listened so patiently and caringly. She was a hugely important part of helping me manage through a tough time. More...

I am completely new to counselling and for someone not knowing what to expect, I found Cherie who I immediately felt very at ease with in the first few minutes of my session. Cherie has been so understanding, thoughtful and has given me such insight as to help me understand my feeling and emotions. Her advice has been amazing and I would recommend her to anyone. I have felt such a difference already in my mental health and it’s only been three sessions, she has helped me tremendously. More...

Services

Integrative Counselling - Integrative Counselling is when different schools of the same approach are used together in a multi-functional therapy. The fundamental basis is the Humanistic approach where emphasis is placed on helping you reach your full potential. This is achieved by the counsellor facilitating the right environment for that change to happen. This combine the following 3 approaches:

What is person-centred counselling?

My approach is based on the person-centered core model. Central to this approach is the relationship between the counsellor and the client, establishing trust to enable the client to explore issues in their own time and in their own way. I aim to create a space where it feels safe to talk about the things that concern you without feeling judged.

The power of this approach is the way in which you set the agenda and topics and I will endeavour to support and help you in your journey without directing you. Person-centered therapy, which focuses on the unique, individual experience of each person, 'their reality' and their self concept.

Gestalt therapy

Gestalt therapy which believes that issues arise when we get stuck in fixed patterns and beliefs about ourselves; focusing on our awareness in the present.

Transactional Analysis

Transactional Analysis that seeks to uncover the ways in which we relate through Ego states or states of being ; as an Adult, Parent or Child.
