Cherish Your Mind

Welcome to Cherish the pearl psychotherapeutic counselling. I am a qualified Integrative Psychotherapeutic Counsellor who believes you deserve to cherish yourself and to be cherished. 

WHY CHERISH THE PEARL?

You deserve to cherish yourself and to be cherished.

Think of a shell as our starting point in life.  It can be our secure base full of love, warmth and nurture from which we – a pearl – can grow and explore the world knowing that we can return to a safe haven where we are protected and cherished. We can travel along the bottom of the sea progressing along happily until we get caught in something like seagrass which makes things more difficult for us and as we become more entangled we don’t know which way to turn.

 

Or the shell may be darker and gloomier and far from unassailable and harmless.  This means we may want to escape and seek refuge elsewhere.  We can find ourselves swept along the bottom of the ocean, alone and unsure.  We can get caught in a sandstorm, in turmoil, and even smashed against a rock.  These traumas can happen at any time in our lives, they can affect our colours or more often than not they can end up so deep they can affect us for the rest of our lives.
