Adult Counselling Adelaide
Confidential counselling to help you talk things through, feel heard and understood. A space to explore stress, anxiety, relationships and other life challenges, and find a way forward that feels right for you.
Based in Largs North, supporting adults across Adelaide.
A Space to Talk Things Through
You don't need to have everything figured out before coming to counselling. Some people come with a clear issue they want support with, while others simply know they're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or that something needs to change. Talking things through can help you explore what's happening, identify what you need support with, and decide what feels like the right next step for you.
Many people tell Cheryl they feel comfortable talking with her because she creates a calm, welcoming space where they feel heard without judgement or pressure.
Cheryl provides confidential individual counselling in the Western suburbs. Her 50 minute sessions are shaped around you — your pace, your needs, and what feels most important to focus on.
If you are seeking support for someone under 21 - please refer to our Youth Counselling page.

Counselling at Your Pace
People often say they didn't realise how much they needed the opportunity to simply talk things through.
As a registered counsellor with the Australian Counselling Association, Cheryl's approach is warm, practical and down to earth. She takes time to understand what's happening in your life without rushing to solutions or expecting you to have everything worked out.
Counselling isn't about being told what to do. It's about having someone alongside you who listens, helps you talk things through, and supports you to explore what feels right for you.
Is This You?
You might not be completely sure what you need yet — you just know something doesn’t feel quite right.
Maybe things have been feeling heavier than usual, or you’ve been holding a lot in for a while.
It could be showing up as stress, tension in relationships, or feeling a bit disconnected from yourself or others.
Or perhaps work, family, or life in general just feels like it’s taking more out of you than it used to.
You don’t need to have the right words or a clear explanation to start.
Sometimes it’s simply about having a conversation and seeing where it goes.
How Counselling Works
Our first session is about getting to know you and understanding what's been happening.
We'll talk about what's brought you to counselling, what you'd like support with, and what you hope might be different.
There's no pressure to tell your whole story in one session. We simply begin where you feel comfortable.
Many people find that 3–6 sessions provide enough time to develop practical strategies, gain clarity, and begin making meaningful changes. Others choose to continue for longer or return whenever life becomes challenging.
