Cheryl Queck

Cheryl Quek holds a Diploma in Psychology and Counselling from The School of Positive Psychology and has a particular interest in supporting youths and young adults facing addiction-related concerns and emotional challenges. She brings warmth, patience and a non-judgmental approach, recognising the importance of helping individuals feel heard, respected and understood.

Her interest in addiction recovery developed during her time as a Family Care Officer at Gladiolus Place, where she supported the daily care, safety and emotional wellbeing of vulnerable young girls in a residential setting. Building trusting relationships gave her insight into how peer pressure, difficult life experiences and emotional distress can influence coping behaviours. These experiences motivated her to pursue further development in counselling and addiction support.

Cheryl’s academic training introduced her to the foundations of cognitive behavioural therapy, person-centred counselling and positive psychology. She values active listening, collaborative goal setting and clear professional boundaries, with an emphasis on recognising individual strengths and encouraging practical steps towards healthier coping.

As an early-career practitioner, Cheryl is committed to continued learning and developing her skills under appropriate professional guidance. She hopes to support young people in building confidence, strengthening emotional resilience and making meaningful changes in their lives.
