Sherisse Cohen

Sensible, supportive, practical, no-nonsense and yet sensitive to my needs. I have been looking for some psychologist who will understand the bigger picture of eating disorders for many years now, and so far Sherisse has been a godsend for me! She lets me set the agenda for my own progress and well-being, and understands where i want to go and helps me.

I saw Sherisse Cohen following my second episode of Major Depression. While I have seen psychiatrists in the past and appreciate that antidepressant medication is an important part of my treatment, this was my first treatment by a psychologist. Sherisse was wonderful, providing me with many useful practical tools to manage negative ruminations, bullying behaviour at work, finding meaning in the aftermath of a broken marriage, and accepting and being kind to my less-than-perfect self (not easy for a perfectionist!). Being a people pleaser, I've learnt that one aspect of the path to happiness is to please myself first. Nine months since my last appointment with Sherisse, I still feel mentally strong, resilient and full of joy for life - standing up for myself and taking the good and the bad bits as they come. I highly recommend Sherisse Cohen.

I started seeing Sherisse over 5 years ago during a period of deep turmoil. Initially being hesitant about seeing a Psychologist, Sherisse worked with me patiently and at times when I thought it would be easier for her to give up on me and I told her so! She showed empathy, kindness and sensitivity without which I would not be where I am today. I am now in a new job, out of a bad relationship and making plans for my future and feel 100% better. I thank the universe I wandered into her practice.
