"Cheryl Cole has admitted that she declined therapy following her split from Ashley Cole last year. The X Factor judge told Elle magazine that she did not feel comfortable talking to a stranger following her divorce from the footballer. &amp;quot;It crossed my mind,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;But I&amp;#039;m not trusting enough to bare my soul to a stranger. I&amp;#039;m lucky that I&amp;#039;ve got friends and family to turn to.\u00E2\u20AC&#157; She added: &amp;quot;It would be nice to take six months out and go to a mountain top and just meditate, let myself go.&amp;quot; The 27-year-old confessed that while she appeared to cope with the split well in public, she had been in a &amp;quot;dark place&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s very much a perception,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;Nobody knows what I went through behind closed doors. Nobody knows what it was like when I was on my own. Of course I held it together in public. Who wouldn&amp;#039;t?&amp;quot; &amp;gt; Cheryl Cole &amp;#039;is nervous of Shirley Ballas&amp;#039; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
