About Cheryl Woodcock

Working with me

My private therapy practice is open to everyone – regardless of profession or background. You don’t need to have a specific issue or prior experience with therapy to reach out.

I work with people from all walks of life, individuals juggling busy careers, parents managing invisible loads, creatives facing burnout and anyone dealing with the quiet exhaustion of just coping. Many of my clients are women trying to balance a lot, others are professionals facing self-doubt or the impact of constant external pressure. Some are simply looking to feel more like themselves again.

I also work with clients in the public eye or public-facing roles: performers, entrepreneurs, and leaders navigating the unique challenges that come with visibility, imposter syndrome, or struggling to maintain authenticity under scrutiny. My work is always discreet, grounded, and completely tailored to your needs.

Why me?

I bring not only therapeutic expertise but real-world, rich lived experience. I’ve worked for over 25 years in high-pressure creative environments in TV and Film production, talent management, recruitment in a corporate setting and as a Welfare & Duty of Care advisor in television and film. I know what it’s like to live with deadlines, visibility, instability, and the weight of constant ‘performance’. And I know what it means to hit burnout, and to come back from it.

I also know therapy works, because I’ve done it myself. That lived understanding shapes the care and respect I bring to every client.
