Meet Cheryl
Words from Cheryl
I understand what it’s like to hold things you’ve never said out loud. To keep functioning while parts of you feel exhausted, numb, or shut down.
I’ve been drawn to this work because I know how trauma shapes the way we love, cope, react, and protect ourselves. I’ve lived it. Going through my own life-changing experiences showed me firsthand how trauma weaves its way into our relationships, our intimacy, our sense of self. It wasn’t easy to untangle — but it changed everything about how I show up for the people I work with.
Most people don’t realise they’re not broken. Their body is responding exactly how it had to. I want people to feel less alone in that.
I don’t expect anyone to walk in with the right words. People sit with me and don’t speak for a while. Sometimes they talk around things, or they apologise for crying — or for not crying. I’m not here to judge how you cope. I’m here to help you understand it.
I’ve been working with families, couples, and children for over 15 years, and exploring sex, kink, BDSM, and alternative relationship styles is genuinely something I love. I’m even working on a steamy novel — Cornered — so yes, I’m right there in the world of kink alongside you. Don’t let the appearance fool you.
My style is validating and gently challenging. I’ll meet you where you are — and I’ll walk with you from there.
Introducing Cheryl
When I first met Cheryl, what struck me wasn’t her training, it was her steadiness. She has this way of being fully present without crowding you. Nothing feels rushed or forced. She notices things gently: the way your voice changes, the moment your body pulls back, the part of you that goes quiet before you even register it.
People trust her because she’s real. She doesn’t hide behind clinical language or pretend she has all the answers. She sits with you — all of you — especially the parts you’re scared people will judge. Childhood trauma, shame, sexual harm, grief, relational hurt…… she doesn’t flinch. She holds it with you in a way that feels grounded and human.
Cheryl is one of those therapists who makes the hard work feel possible. That’s why she’s here.
Cheryl works Fridays only from our Midland location or Australia wide online. She works with individual or couples.
