Cheryl Aalit

Who I am:
Working in the well-being industry for many years alongside psychologists and psychiatrists, I have developed extensive knowledge of psychological principles and theories (including ADHD). My psychology degree and training in transformative coaching has further deepened my understanding of human behaviour and change, and this has enhanced my ability to help people achieve their health and wellbeing goals.

How I work:
Meeting for regular, weekly or fortnightly sessions, I offer a personalised approach, looking at where you are stuck, what might be holding you back and helping you to harness your inner strengths to achieve your goals.
I use a range of different coaching interventions:
General coaching includes preparing for interviews, promotions, presentations, personal commitments, and any other significant life events; and general support, guidance, generating ideas and exploring possibilities.
Transformative coaching includes gaining more insight in who you are; looking at your beliefs, assumptions, values and expectations, opening up new possibilities for longer-lasting growth and change.
Wellbeing coaching provides support and guidance to manage anxiety, stress, burnout, overwhelm, and the stresses and strains associated with modern day living.
Health coaching facilitates creating healthier habits and a healthier lifestyle to improve your physical health so that you have more energy and vitality to do more of the things you love.
Holistic coaching aims to reduce stress, increase energy and vitality, and create balance and harmony, by working with the various aspects of your interconnected self; diet, sleep, exercise, emotions, spirituality, relationships, career.
ADHD coaching includes support with coming to terms with a diagnosis, learn about ADHD and its effects, managing symptoms, enhancing overall health and wellbeing, and harnessing your strengths to reach your personal goals.
My clients report feeling lighter after each coaching session; they have more space to think and are able to understand themselves better, enabling them to open up to new ways of thinking and new possibilities that were previously inaccessible. It is not uncommon for other positive, unexpected changes and outcomes to occur, which are somewhat different to the original goals and plans. Coaching can far exceed expectations and can open up a whole new world of possibilities.

Testimonials:
“Cheryl has changed my life! She knows a lot and helps you see things clearly. She has a way of opening you up and exposing you to a whole new world that you didn’t know existed. After trying a few coaches I was lucky to have her coach me and just as lucky to spend time with her. She is so inspiring and has a great energy and presence”. – Nadia
“Cheryl is a thoughtful coach, putting her clients wellbeing at the centre of her practice. I value and appreciate the time we’ve spent together over the past 6 months and the many ways she has helped me to view my life through different lenses. Helping me on my journey to explore and set achievable goals and to have the courage to be the best I can be!” – Adrian
“I happened upon life coaching with Cheryl by chance and I’m delighted that I did. I wasn’t sure what to expect and it is hard to describe how and why it works and becomes such a positive experience. I expect it’s because Cheryl listens intently, summarizes your ‘issue’ and guides you in a direction and goal you’d like to achieve. I felt like I’d almost been hypnotised as it was such a great feeling at the end of each session. I have taken lots from these sessions and feel more equipped at achieving my personal goals. It’s a very positive service”. – Stella.
“Cheryl was warm and empathetic, and just talking out all that was going on in my head helped me to process some of my stresses and what was holding me back from making changes. Cheryl asked me some great questions that got me thinking about things from a different perspective. I think about things differently now and would definitely go back to see her if I needed to”. – Ellen
“Cheryl always make me feel comfortable and free to say what I need, no judgement. I feel safe!” – Rachel
“Honestly feel great. I don’t know how or why but feel brilliant. Thanks so much for your time today. I actually haven’t done anything but be productive since the session. I’m very grateful for your acceptance and chilled vibes! So Thank you so much!”  – Noah
