About Me

My name is Cheryl, and I am an Occupational Therapist with over 25 years of experience, the majority of which has been dedicated to Adult Social Care. Throughout my career, I have developed a deep understanding of the challenges faced by individuals living with profound, life-changing disabilities. My genuine care and empathy for these individuals have been fundamental in shaping my practice, enabling me to provide exceptional, person-centred care. This has enabled me to make a meaningful impact on the lives of the people who are in my care.

Experience & Qualifications

I earned a BSc in Occupational Therapy from the University of Liverpool in 1998 and am currently registered with the Health and Care Professions Council.

Throughout my career, I have encountered numerous individuals facing deteriorating health due to addiction. Working closely with these individuals sparked a deep motivation within me to contribute more professionally to the field of addiction. It inspired me to pursue a deeper level of involvement in helping those struggling with addiction. As a result, I recently became a qualified SMART Recovery practitioner.

Moreover, my personal connection to addiction extends beyond my professional work—my partner is a recovering alcoholic. This has provided me with firsthand experience of how addiction profoundly impacts the entire family. Addiction truly becomes a family illness, with its effects reverberating across all relationships.

Interests

As a mother to three exceptional children, I am incredibly proud of how they thrive and succeed, despite their neurodiversity.

Fun Fact
