Hi, I’m Cheryl — a BSc (Hons) qualified counsellor and founder of SpringLeaf Counselling, based in Northumberland.

​

I offer online, phone, and walk-and-talk therapy across the UK for people who are feeling anxious, low, or emotionally stuck — whether due to trauma, grief, burnout, work, studies or relationship challenges.

​

At the heart of my practice is a calm, confidential space where you're free to talk openly and honestly, without fear of judgment. You don’t need to have the “right” words — we can begin exactly where you are.

​

SpringLeaf was created to provide grounded, compassionate counselling that meets you as a whole person — emotionally, physically, and practically. Whether you're navigating life transitions, feeling overwhelmed, or simply ready for change, I offer support that helps you feel seen, heard, and gently empowered.

​

My approach is person-centred and integrative, drawing from Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic therapy, and trauma-informed practice. I believe that healing begins when you're truly met in your experience — with warmth, curiosity, and respect. Together, we’ll explore what’s going on beneath the surface, at a pace that feels safe and right for you.

​

You don’t have to go it alone. Let’s take the first step together.
