ADHD & AUTISM SUPORT

No two neurodivergent people are the same.

Some people struggle with emotional regulation, while others experience sensory overload, executive functioning difficulties or social exhaustion. Many experience several of these challenges at once.

I work collaboratively to understand your individual experiences rather than making assumptions based on a diagnosis or checklist.

Drawing on a range of evidence-based therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), Mindfulness and other integrative approaches, I tailor therapy to your individual needs, helping you better understand how your neurodivergent brain works while developing practical strategies to manage everyday challenges.

Therapy may focus on areas such as:

* Understanding and accepting your neurodivergent identity
* Managing anxiety and emotional overwhelm
* Developing emotional regulation skills
* Reducing the impact of masking and burnout
* Improving executive functioning and organisation
* Building confidence and self-esteem
* Navigating work, education and relationships
* Managing sensory sensitivities
* Developing practical coping strategies that work for you

In addition to therapeutic support, if you are considering a formal ADHD or autism assessment, I can signpost you to reputable private assessment providers. Following diagnosis, I can also provide information about trusted private treatment services, including specialist medical providers where medication assessment or ongoing medical management may be appropriate.

Above all, therapy is a space where you don’t have to pretend to be someone you’re not. My aim is to help you understand yourself with greater compassion, recognise your strengths and build a life that works with your brain, not against it.

I would highly recommend Bod. Particularly for matters of neurodivergence and phobias. I don’t say this lightly but the work we completed in a short period of time has been life changing.

I have been having EMDR sessions with Cheryl for about 6 months. In this time she has guided and supported me through some of the toughest times in life, for which I will be forever grateful. She is kind, caring, very welcoming and brilliant at her job. Seeking therapy and especially the process of EMDR can be scary and daunting, but at all times I felt safe, held and understood. I could not recommend Cheryl enough and implore anyone seeking therapy to contact to Cheryl.

An absolutely excellent and affordable service perfectly located in the city centre. Cheryl is amazing and I would recommend her to anyone (in fact I have). She is welcoming, warm and an expert in her field. By far the best therapist I’ve ever had.

I’ve been working with Cheryl for the last 10 months. This is by far the most collaborative relationship I’ve had with a therapist, as teamwork plays a key role in treatment and recovery. We’ve used talking therapy and EMDR to process previous trauma, which has been life changing. Cheryl has taught me practical tools which I can use on an everyday basis, as well as explaining the theory and psychological/physiological processes at work. My self esteem and emotional regulation have improved massively since I started therapy. I’ve made huge changes in my life and we are constantly reflecting on how to step towards my goals. Great service could not recommend more 🙌

I’ve been seeing Cheryl since September and it’s been one of the most comfortable and affirming experiences I’ve had in therapy. It was because of her sessions that I felt encouraged to seek out an ADHD diagnosis and Cheryl has been invaluable at helping me make sense of the condition. The warmth, empathy and kindness with which she conducts her sessions have been transformative. Having been to therapy before, this is the first time I’ve felt like a therapist has understood me and been able to adequately assess the cause of my difficulties. After having multiple therapeutic experiences that weren’t helpful, I became resigned at the thought that my issues couldn’t be treated. By understanding the cause of my problems and devising ways to treat them, my sessions with Cheryl have imbued in me a newfound hope and optimism and have given me a more positive outlook on my future.

Cheryl has provided me with so much support in the last 8 months, I cannot thank her enough! Having never been to therapy before, she made me feel so at ease, as she has such a friendly and warm personality! She is incredibly knowledgeable in her field and also compassionate. I feel I have made a lot of progress and I have learned so much from her!

I've seen several different therapists in my life, but none of them have shown the patience, skill, and care of Cheryl. Every time I see her I leave feeling lighter and more hopeful, and I've already made significant progress in the short-time I've been working with her.

I have been seeing Cheryl for panic disorder and OCD and I am now recovering. She is a wonderful therapist who is compassionate, patient and real expert in her field. She also understands complex issues indepth. Highly recommended.
