Cheryl Rydzynski - Counsellor and Reiki Master/Practitioner

Hi, I’m Cheryl!

There are many therapists out there — and it can feel overwhelming to make a choice and reach out. When you do, you want to feel confident you've picked the right person for you.

The first session can understandably bring mixed feelings. But many people I work with tell me they leave feeling calmer — like a weight has lifted. They feel relieved to have found a connection where they can speak freely and feel truly heard. That moment matters. It means we’re off to a good start.

Sometimes, just being heard is enough to begin untangling what feels overwhelming, and gently return to a place of emotional and physical wellness.

I encourage you to reach out to me, if you would like support.

Warm, professional guidance that meets you where you’re at

As a former manager with years of experience leading teams and nurturing workplace relationships, I understand the pressures people face—whether in the office, at home, or at school. My insight into team dynamics, emotional well-being, and organisational challenges helps me support not only employees, but also caregivers and teenagers navigating stress, anxiety, trauma, and change.

The strategies we develop together are person-centred, compassionate, and practical—designed to meet you where you're at and empower you to move forward with clarity and confidence, no matter your stage of life or situation.

From my formal education, I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, to provide the support that best suits you.
