Welcome to the private practice of Cherilyn Clayton, providing professional and confidential counselling and therapy services, specialising in individual and family therapy.
Counselling leading to insights for change
I have been working with families for more than 25 years and I consider it a privilege to support people at their most difficult times.
The aim of therapy is to give you a deeper understanding of the nature of the problem you are experiencing and/or why you respond to situations in the way you do. You may discover that the solutions you employed to alleviate your distress have now become part of the problem. I aim to offer fresh insights, strategies and ideas to assist you to create change and move ahead in greater strength and confidence.
What kinds of issues might a person want to address in counselling?
I work with adults and adolescents who experience difficulties in areas such as:
- depression
- anxiety
- stress
- eating disorders
- sleep problems
- self harm
- relationship breakdown
- parents who are struggling to know how to interact effectively with their adolescents
- adolescents who wish to improve their communication and relationship with their parent(s)
- families who are experiencing challenges after coming together following re-partnering
- families who need help dealing with the mental health issues or trauma experienced by a family member
- families who are coming to terms with major life events such as separation, loss/bereavement, serious illness, family relocation, or other challenges.
