Cheryl Gaunt

Cheryl Gaunt a highly experienced counsellor and a clinical member of the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia. She has a wealth of formal education and experience that she brings to the counselling room. Cheryl collaborates with clients to create a highly supportive experience where thoughts and feelings can be expressed without fear of judgment, allowing individuals to feel seen and heard.

By exploring and understanding oneself, clients can gain new insights to effect beneficial change. A deeper understanding of personal awareness promotes alternative ways of being, enabling authentic self-expression. Through mutual collaboration, Cheryl provides practical guidance and effective strategies to support change, growth, and the ability to cope with life’s challenges. She believes everyone has the potential to find a sense of personal value and rise above areas of compromise, leading to a gratifying life.

Cheryl holds space for her clients to work towards truly liking the person they aspire to become, and she therefore supports them in leading a more fulfilling, happier life. Using a person-centred approach, Cheryl tailors her sessions to her clients' needs, strengths, and goals. She draws on contemporary therapies including Life Coaching, Cognitive-Behaviour Therapy, Solution and Emotion-Focused Therapy, Family Systems Therapy, and Narrative Therapy. This mix of modalities allows her to creatively assist clients in identifying, challenging, and working through unhelpful thoughts, feelings, and behaviours.
