Cheri’s therapeutic approach is rooted in compassion, warmth, and encouragement, creating a safe and welcoming space for clients. She understands that each individual comes with unique struggles, whether it’s anxiety, self-doubt, or feelings of isolation. Cheri recognizes that these pain points can often feel overwhelming and daunting.

Cheri’s therapeutic approach is rooted in her belief in every individual’s potential for growth and change. Using a person-centred approach, she empowers her clients to explore their feelings and experiences at their own pace. Cheri listens deeply and reflects on the strengths she sees in her clients, helping them accept their current situation without judgment. This acceptance is the first step toward healing.

Cheri guides her clients in identifying small, manageable steps they can take to improve their lives. By collaborating with them to set realistic goals, she helps them find opportunities for growth within their everyday routines. These small improvements might include developing coping strategies, enhancing self-care practices, or fostering healthier relationships.

Through her supportive and empathetic approach, Cheri assists clients in realizing their potential. She celebrates their progress and encourages them during setbacks, reinforcing that each step is a significant part of their journey, no matter how small. With her guidance, clients can move towards a more fulfilling and healthier way of living, filled with self-acceptance and positive change.

Adolescence is a time of tremendous growth, change, and discovery — but it can also bring feelings of confusion, pressure, and uncertainty. I work with teens and young adults who are managing anxiety, depression, ADHD, Autism, stress, and life transitions, helping them build self-awareness, confidence, and healthy coping strategies. I also support parents in understanding and responding effectively to their teens’ emotional and behavioural needs, offering practical tools for communication and connection at home.

Before becoming a counsellor, I spent over two decades as a French immersion teacher, which gave me valuable insight into the academic, social, and emotional challenges that young people face. This background continues to shape my approach — combining empathy, patience, and structure to help each client feel supported and capable of growth.

My style is person-centered, grounded in the belief that each individual is the expert in their own life. I strive to create a supportive and collaborative environment built on mutual respect where clients can explore their experiences, build on their strengths, and develop practical strategies to support growth and well-being using a variety of therapeutic modalities, tailoring our sessions to your specific needs and goals.

Chick Counselling Services provides a space where both teens and parents feel heard, understood, and empowered to move forward with greater confidence and connection.
