Cheryl Backham Counselling

Cheryl Backham Counselling Hi I’m Cheryl, and a BACP registered counsellor based in Smallthorne. I have 5 years’ experience My counselling approach is person centred.

About me
Life can be challenging, especially when you don't have someone that will be there for you to just listen. I'm a fully qualified counsellor with nearly 1000 hours of experience, working with both adults and children over the last 5 years. This allows you to explore your thoughts and feelings, supported in a safe, non-judgemental way with someone who is empathetic and respects you. I will work alongside you to listen and guide you to a place where you want to be.

Animal therapy builds on a concept called the human-animal bond, which describes people’s desire to interact with and relate to animals. For many people, by interacting with a friendly animal, they can form a bond with them. This bond can produce a calming state in the person.

This bond itself may help the person in several ways:

-reducing boredom
-increasing movement and activity through walks and play
-providing companionship and decreasing loneliness
-increasing social interactions
-improving mood and general well-being

The positive interactions with an animal may lead to benefits in the mind and body, such as reduced stress and an overall more balanced mental and emotional state.

Animal therapy partially uses this bond in a directed way to achieve the goals of the therapy.

This is Finn and he’s ready to make new bonds
