Brightstead is the adult-focused branch of the Cherrycroft Practice. As our work with children and families developed a distinct identity and approach, we recognised the importance of creating a space with a different focus—one that truly speaks to the unique needs and experiences of adults.

At Brightstead, we are a team of experienced therapists, bringing together decades of clinical practice. But more than that, we are also people who understand—firsthand—the complexities and challenges life can present. This understanding has deeply informed the way we’ve shaped Brightstead.

We’ve asked ourselves: What would we want from support? The answer became the foundation of this space—a place that is warm, grounded, and real. A place where the reality of adult struggles is met with compassion, depth, and presence.

We envision Brightstead as a space where adults can come together—where our therapists bring their clinical knowledge and insight, and where the adults we support bring their own lived wisdom. Together, we co-create a space that is nurturing, reflective, and hopeful—a space where healing and growth can take root.

Welcome to Brightstead. We’re here to walk alongside you.
