About me

Hi, I’m Cheryl, founder of Thrive With Colour. I’m an award-winning personal stylist and colour consultant based in Wokingham, supporting purpose-led women and professionals to align how they show up with who they are becoming.

Through colour, style and a  supportive process, I help you build a wardrobe and presence that feels authentic, considered and confidence-giving, so getting dressed becomes simpler, calmer and more you.

This work is not about trends, rules or reinvention. It’s about helping you feel at home in yourself again.

My background is in HR, psychology and people-focused work, alongside professional training in colour analysis and personal styling. This means I work in a way that is thoughtful, grounded and emotionally intelligent, as well as practical and personal.

Together, we explore what truly suits you, not just physically, but emotionally, practically and in the context of your life and work. You will never be told what you “should” wear. We discover what feels right for you, with you.

I mainly support:

• Purpose-led women and professionals
   
• Founders, leaders and women in visible roles
   
• Women navigating change, whether career, identity, body or confidence

• Individuals that are interested in exploring colour
   

You do not need to love fashion. You do not need to be bold or extroverted. You simply need to want to feel more comfortable, confident and aligned in how you show up.

I know from personal experience what it feels like to be out of alignment with how you present yourself. To feel capable and accomplished on the inside, but unsure or disconnected on the outside.

Discovering how colour and style could support me, rather than judge me, changed that. It helped me feel calmer, clearer and more at ease in myself. That is what I now help my clients experience.

Not a transformation into someone new, but a return to themselves.

Before founding Thrive With Colour, I spent 20 years in HR and people-focused roles, supporting individuals through growth, change and transition.

Alongside that, I trained professionally in:

• Advanced Colour and Make-up with Colour Me Beautiful
   
• Advanced Diploma in Personal Styling with the London College of Style
   
• And I hold qualifications in Psychology, Sociology and Counselling
   

This blend allows me to work in a way that is both deeply human and highly professional.

Awards: 

• Bronze Award, Colour Me Beautiful, 2026

• Silver Award, Colour Me Beautiful, 2025
   
• Silver Award, Colour Me Beautiful, 2024
   
• Rising Star, Colour Me Beautiful, 2023
   

These reflect the care and integrity I bring to my work, but what matters most to me is the moment a client looks in the mirror and says, “that finally feels like me.”

I live in Wokingham with my husband James and our friendly cocker spaniel. I love long walks, good coffee, books, travel, experiences, music and many things between!

I value warmth, depth, honesty and thoughtfulness, and that is the atmosphere I aim to create in every session.

If you’re looking for someone to tell you what’s fashionable, push you into a new persona, or sell you a “new you”, I’m probably not the right fit.

If you’re looking for someone to help you feel more confident, aligned and at ease in how you show up, I would love to support you.

Your style journey does not need to be loud or dramatic to be powerful.

It can be calm. It can be thoughtful. I'd love to help you become the most aligned version of YOU and to Thrive With Colour!
