A note from Cheryl
Six decades of life. Three of them spent listening.
I'm Cheryl Taylor — an Expressive Therapist, Educator and Supervisor. My practice rests on a simple belief: that within each of us lives an innate wisdom, waiting to be heard.
The room I hold is quiet, collaborative, and unhurried. We may speak, or we may work with sand and symbol, with image, story or the body. Whatever asks to come, comes — in its own time.
The work
Five doorways into the same quiet room.
- 01 Sandplay Therapy Where the unconscious speaks through symbol — small figures, a tray of sand, a witnessed unfolding.
- 02 Expressive Therapies Imagery, drawing, story and somatic experiencing — languages older and wider than words.
- 03 EMDR A gentle, evidence-based approach to releasing the weight of trauma — held and integrated.
- 04 Supervision Online supervision for trainee and experienced therapists — reflective, restorative, generative.
- 05 Workshops & Training Professional development and retreats for clinicians — immersive, embodied, in good company.
— Approach
I trust in each person's innate wisdom — and in the slow, gentle work of helping it surface.

How we begin
Four steps, taken at your own pace.
A first conversation
We meet — online or in person — for a 50-minute session to see whether this is the right room for you.
Find a rhythm
If we continue, we'll find a cadence that suits the work. Some come weekly; others fortnightly; others for a season.
The unfolding
The work moves at the pace of trust. There is no clock on healing — only the next, quiet step.
Presence: what do we bring to the therapeutic encounter?

A day of slowing down together — an enquiry into the quality of presence we bring into the room, and what it asks of us. Quiet, embodied, generous. Lunch and tea included.
Reserve a placeWords from the room
A few quiet things people have said.
“Cheryl makes a kind of space I had no idea I needed. Nothing is hurried. Nothing is performed. Something in me began to unfold that hadn't moved in years.”
“Her supervision steadied me through the hardest stretch of my early career. She holds the work and holds the worker — both, at once.”
“The sandplay sessions were unlike anything I'd experienced. I left each one as if I'd been given back something I hadn't realised I had lost.”
