life isn't about
finding yourself.
life is about
creating yourself.
– George Bernard Shaw
hello.
I’m cherie.
I firmly believe that everyone can benefit from therapy at some point in their life. Over the years, I’ve experienced burnout, anxiety, and diagnoses of Chronic Fatigue and Fibromyalgia. I’ve been in an abusive relationship, married the love of my life, and lost two adoptive daughters.
I’ve rebuilt my life three times in different countries.
I’ve travelled, loved, laughed, and grieved. And I tried countless talking therapies before I discovered Cognitive Hypnotherapy (QCH) and Somatic EMDR. I’m not just a practitioner. I’m a client too. I do this work because I know how deeply it can help, and I want others to find a way through, just as I did.
Before becoming a trauma-trained therapist, I spent 25 years as a senior international manager in the design, travel, and entertainment industries. So I know first-hand the toll that chronic stress and emotional overload can take. Not only can I relate, I can help you shift what’s underneath it so it no longer holds you back.
I’m passionate about this work because I’ve seen its transformative power, both in myself and my clients. QCH Therapy and Somatic EMDR helped me understand my struggles in a new way and gave me the tools to create real, lasting change. Now I help others do the same.
