Cherry Tree Therapy and Coaching NI

✨ NEW SEPTEMBER. NEW FOCUS. NEW YOU. ✨

The kids are back at school. The routine is back. But somewhere in all that “getting everyone else sorted,” where did YOU go?

Join us on 2nd October at The Rabbit Hotel for an event designed for ambitious women who are ready to stop playing small.

We’re blending therapy and coaching to help you finally understand what’s really holding you back — that quiet voice that tells you you’re not quite ready, not quite enough, not quite there yet. We’re calling time on it.

☕ Light Breakfast & lunch included
💆 Optional spa add-on at a heavily discounted rate to end your afternoon in total relaxation
💛 A room full of women who get it

You’ve spent September getting everyone else back on track. This is your reminder: it’s your turn now.

Dreams. Goals. Action.

We all have that vision — the one that lights something up in us. A version of life, of work, of ourselves that feels a little bit bigger, a little bit braver.

But somewhere between the dreaming and the doing, self-doubt creeps in. “Who am I to want this?” “What if I’m not enough?” “What if I fail?”

Here’s the truth: doubt doesn’t mean you’re not ready. It means you’re stepping outside your comfort zone — and that’s exactly where growth lives.

✨ Dream it.
✨ Name it as a goal.
✨ Build the plan.
✨ Take the first step — even a wobbly one.

If you’re ready to stop letting self-doubt call the shots, join us for Shake Self Doubt on 2nd October 🍂 A space to reconnect with your goals, quiet that inner critic, and walk away with real tools to move forward.

📍 Link in bio to book your spot — spaces are limited. Early bird all gone, but discounts remain for bring a friend or colleague.

What if your self-doubt isn’t really about today?

That voice saying…

“I’m not good enough.”
“I’ll get found out.”
“What if I fail?”
“Everyone else is better than me.”

…may have roots much further back than you realise.

EMDR can help explore those roots — and create a different way forward.

EMDR looks at self-doubt through the Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) model.

Our brains are designed to process and store experiences in a way that helps us learn from them.

But sometimes experiences become insufficiently processed.

And when that happens, old experiences can continue to influence how we see ourselves, other people and the world today.

Self-doubt can sometimes be connected to earlier experiences:

• Criticism or comparison
• Bullying or rejection
• Feeling different or not fitting in
• A difficult relationship
• Failure or humiliation
• High expectations
• Being made to feel that mistakes weren’t acceptable

It doesn’t have to be one huge traumatic event.

Sometimes it’s the accumulation of smaller experiences that shaped a belief such as:

“I’m not good enough.”

You might logically know:

“I’m capable.”

But emotionally, something still says:

“You’re going to mess this up.”

A current situation can activate an old network of memories, emotions, body sensations and beliefs.

So a presentation, promotion, new relationship or networking event might feel much bigger than the situation itself.

The present can trigger the past.

EMDR isn’t about erasing memories.

Through bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements, the therapist helps you process experiences that may still feel emotionally “stuck”.

As the memory is processed, the brain can begin to make new connections.

The goal isn’t:

“That never happened.”

It’s:

“That happened — and it no longer defines me.”

What would it be like to walk into that meeting…

Have that conversation…

Put yourself forward…

Set that boundary…

Take that opportunity…

without the old self-doubt automatically taking over?

Can you spot self doubt in your own life? More importantly what is it holding you back from? 🫶 link in bio

Runnings two business, raising two wee ones, trying to catch my breath some days - it’s easy to miss the good stuff in the rush. This is me, stopping to notice it 🫶
