What I offer for Neurodiversity
As a parent or carer who has a neurodiverse child or children, everyday life can be overwhelming and exhausting. The constant emotional energy needed, the mental and physical fatigue around the strict but necessary routines, are all part of being any parent or carer. However, with the neurodiverse child, constant demands on you can become too great.
You experience many emotions throughout your day;
• Grief for the hardship your child faces and the elements of life that aren’t available to them.
• Guilt for not providing what you believe is enough for them.
• Sorrow for the exhaustion and burn out you feel.
• Anger at systems that do not include your child’s needs
• Vulnerability of your child and yourself
• Exhaustion at constant battles to access what your child is entitled to.
• Confusion with all the differing opinions and advice
• Defeated by the daily trials
• Anxious for the next event or episode that may/will happen
My coaching can enable you to foresee a fulfilling future for yourself alongside your child and family. My understanding of your situation within the home, workplace and education settings for your child gives me insight into your everyday schedules and routines. There are always complications that arise regularly and finding solutions to overcome them can be onerous. You are the best influence on your child, you know them better than anyone, but who can you turn to for understanding, support and solutions?
I can help you to;
• establish direction and action to assist your child to fulfil their potential in any or all areas of life.
• explore new approaches to the behaviour your child is displaying or strategies to alter or implement routines.
• return to your career if that has been on hold, or alternatively, take a career break to care for your family.
• find some time for yourself to feel grounded, calm and complete.
• You may yearn for time to treat yourself, meet friends or re kindle the hobby you miss.
• Build positive habits and routines for your whole family
• Achieve a holistic and encompassing approach to your family life.
Coaching will help and inspire you to feel empowered and in control of your family and work balance, creating a smooth, positive and compassionate life. As a primary parent or carer, you are the link pin to the household, you are the most important part. If you are happy, content and fulfilled, the others around you will be too.
The methods available are Solution Focused or The Mind Movies Transformative Method. Together we can establish the goals you want to achieve, create a personalised plan and manage continuous concrete steps to reach a place that is comfortable, acceptable and sustainable.
Why coaching with mind movies?
Simple:We will rewrite your life story.
This method has had worldwide success transforming many lives for the better. It succeeds where other forms of coaching have not because it encompasses the ‘whole’ person; mind, body and spirit. For lasting and tangible results, all thought patterns, limiting beliefs , emotional blocks and limitations need to be addressed and adjusted to create the life that you deserve and desire.
The Coaching Framework using the Mind Movie Method.
Mind Movies will take you on a journey from your current situations, struggles and worries to discovering your true worth and strengths. The method finds and extinguishes the blocks that are restricting you, it builds your confidence and courage to create new pathways in your life or situation and empowers you to meet your aspirations for yourself and for others around you.
Example of the Formula for a 6 session program;
Step one.
Together we will establish and discuss what it is that you want to achieve or improve and what is holding you back. This can bring instant relief as you can finally see a way through and sharing your troubles can lift the weight from your shoulders.
Step two.
We will begin to build a Mind Movie personalised to your aspirations. This involves affirmations and positive thinking, images which correspond to them and then music to involve sight and sound. This is a powerful visualisation tool, backed by science, to train and condition your thinking and beliefs.
Step three.
Watching your completed personalised movie or film daily begins to imprint all the positive thinking into your subconscious mind thereby training your mind to accept these new ideas. This element uses the law of attraction with your new mental clarity to manifest the outcomes you are working towards. Your daily life will now start to take a new shape, a new normal. Your hard work will be seeing positive results.
Step four.
Alongside the daily mind movie, we will further explore, analyse and tweak any problems or realisations that have appeared and dispel limiting beliefs that are restraining you. We will develop and implement healthy and positive habits into your daily life that become routine and beneficial.
Step 5.
You will be experiencing positive changes in your life, you will be stepping into your future. You will feel your past restricting emotions changing and being replaced by positive, empowering and joyful ones. You will be enthusiastic in implementing the changes needed within your family, making the whole unit stronger, closer and calmer.
Step six.
You are now integrated into the new ‘you’. You have confidence, resilience and self-belief. Your goals are being met, your original situation has dissolved and your ideal future is happening now. You can flourish with everyday life for yourself and those around you, having created strategies and systems to support and nurture you all.
Further sessions may be needed depending on each individuals blocks and obstacles that need to be overcome.
The mind movie is yours to keep, motivating and inspiring you as you pursue your new life story.

Areas of specialism;
Neurodiversity in children and adults;
Neurodiversity is now recognised and acknowledged throughout society, though there are still many hurdles that neurodiverse individuals need to navigate. Managing within the educational and workplace settings can be challenging and seemingly impossible for those within this spectrum. My experience and communication with young people and their families with neurodiversity gives me a clear insight to the challenges faced.
'There is always a way through.'
Recovery from trauma, emotional abuse, illness or stress.
For the neurodivergent, there are often other factors that have been experienced. Emotional burnout and finding your life purpose after trauma or grief can be a daunting and seemingly impossible task to undertake, Taking the first step takes courage and strength but you don’t need to take it alone. The Mind Movie Method is a therapeutic and engaging option to find, believe and achieve a positive future. Combined with clear and concise coaching this will give you the confidence and belief in yourself to move forward to your goal.

“I can’t thank Cheryl enough for her time and patience with my daughter (14). Her understanding of neurodiversity especially communicating with tweens/ teens has been incredible. It is the highlight of my daughter’s week to meet with Cheryl and the animals at Bareppa.
Cheryl sees the potential in people from the start. She understands the challenges people with neurodiversity face as well as the challenges to the family. Cheryl is always willing to help in any way she can, always has time for my daughter, showing a genuine care for her and is always so positive. We have seen amazing positive progression in my daughter’s anxiety. Thankyou Cheryl for your continued commitment and support- I really don’t know where we would be without you!”
My daughter is neurodivergent and has often felt very alone in the world. Cheryl is so welcoming, nurturing and positive towards my daughter's way of thinking that miracles started to happen.
Meeting Cheryl has been a huge turning point in my life. I am coming to terms with the trauma which has dominated my feelings about myself all my life. She has come along side me and is massively encouraging and inspirational as she truly and deeply understands. I have simply never felt so 'seen'and hopeful.
“My children and I have been visiting Bareppa for some time now. The support we have received there has been and continues to be invaluable.
Cheryl is 100% accepting and non judgemental, and children, adults and animals flourish alike in the atmosphere of steady kindness and compassion she creates. All sprinkled with a healthy dose of humour and no nonsense common sense!
I would trust Cheryl with anything and feel that she has the capacity to help anyone who is ready to take that step. We feel truly blessed to have Cheryl in our lives! “
Cheryl has been supportive with both my neurodiverse children, they have very different needs and the environment at Bareppa is good for them both.
'Using the Mind Movie has been exciting and enjoyable. Creating positive affirmations, adding pictures and music made it thought prevoking and believable. It has brought the REAL ME to life.'
Cheryl has a deep understanding of trauma, anxiety and abuse. She uses her personal experiences to offer me practical and sensible advice which has enabled me to start healing. She has a high degree of empathy and concern which has helped to build my self esteem and confidence. Her positivity has given me hope where there was none, a pathway where there was confusion and the ability to rationalise my inner conflict to give me inner peace.
