People suffering with addiction issues and their families need support to help initiate change. Cherie has extensive experience in addiction and knowledge of the addict mind. It is often one step forward and two steps back for people who are struggling with a dependency on anything external, which can be a long hard road, but not an impossible one.

I see clients with any form of addiction, from drug and alcohol abuse, gambling, phone addiction to food addiction.

ADDICTION

With the recent events and technological developments in the world, Cherie has seen a global decline in mental health and a huge increase in people suffering from depression and anxiety. This can be a challenge for people to face alone, and Cherie supports people through awareness and skills to accept and work through their stuckness and fears, working with suffering and turning it into growth.

DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY

Parenting is often both challenging and rewarding, yet it lacks a manual for guidance. Even for the most dedicated parents, the journey can be daunting, filled with unexpected emotional triggers and complexities. Cherie acknowledges the profound difficulty of the parenting role and the myriad of emotions it can evoke.

Cherie understands firsthand the trials and tribulations of raising children and recognizes the importance of seeking support and learning effective parenting strategies. She invites fellow parents who may be struggling with the emotional demands of parenthood to embark on a journey of self-discovery and growth together.

Through her empathetic approach and commitment to positive parenting practices, Cherie offers a safe space for parents to explore their challenges and develop resilience. Together, they can navigate the complexities of parenthood, fostering healthier relationships and creating a nurturing environment for both parent and child.

PARENTING

Grief is the emotion we feel when an important relationship ends. Often the ending is caused by death, but grief can also be felt when a relationship is lost for other reasons. We don’t grieve for all lost relationships; only those that have, for one reason or another, become meaningful to us over time – people we love or admire (family, partners, friends, teachers), and jobs, places or things we treasure. When these people or things are gone, we often feel grief and feel very alone.

Trauma comes from a deeply distressing or disturbing experience. When one experiences trauma it can disrupt ones ways of living, self-regulating and being in the world. Psychotherapy can help in working through your trauma and finding ways to soothe your central nervous system to come back to a place of alignment and calm.

GRIEF, LOSS AND TRAUMA

SUPPORT FOR FAMILIES OF PEOPLE WITH ADDICTIONS

Often families of people suffering from addiction are focused on getting their loved one the help they need, but often forget that they themselves are going through one of the hardest things a person can go through. Being powerless to help someone you love make a change, and watching them go through immense struggle and heartache is extremely challenging.

It is crucial for family members to get the help and support they need. Through counselling and Psychotherapy you can get help so as to not feel so alone in this process and to help work on the bouondaries that often get crossed when addiction is present in someones life.
