About us

Hi. I’m Cheryle Rushton. I’m a psychologist with special interests in hypnotherapy and EMDR. I have over twenty years of professional clinical care in Townsville. I am registered with AHPRA, APS, and EMDRAA.

​

I knew I wanted to be a psychologist since I was in primary school. When I was asked what I wanted to be when I grew up I said “a psychologist or a post lady.” I loved waiting at the mailbox for the post lady. She rode past on her mini motorbike and handed me letters that made my family happy. Back in those days, they were letters from friends and family. I wanted to bring joy to people like she did. Unfortunately  did not master riding a bike. So a psychologist I was meant to be!

​

I moved to Townsville to study psychology at James Cook University, and I’m still here! I love our weather and small town feel. I love my dogs, going to the beach, and swimming. After twenty years of providing professional clinical care, I still love meeting new clients and working with them to help them reach their goals.

​

When I’m not working helping clients be their best selves, you’ll find me at the pool.
