About Cherelle
Cherelle Richards welcomes people who are struggling with low mood, anxiety and the heavy pull of life changes. She writes plainly and listens closely, helping people name what they are feeling and find manageable steps forward. Her style suits those who want a calm, steady presence while they work through difficult emotions like grief, shame or isolation.
Cherelle uses person-centred ways of working that put the client’s experience at the centre of each session.
Background and approach
She also draws on solution-focused techniques to set small, realistic goals and notice what is already helping. Sessions are conversational and practical rather than long lectures. People leave with simple tools to try between meetings.
Her background includes three years of professional experience and registrations with BACP and NCPS. She has supported people with depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship worries and work stress. Cherelle pays close attention to cultural and migration issues that can shape someone’s sense of self and belonging.
She is comfortable discussing intimacy, non-traditional relationship styles and the specific pressures that come with parenting and career transitions. She aims to reduce shame and to replace it with clearer choices and small, steady changes. Many clients comment that the work feels like learning to steady their own emotional balance.
Sessions are offered in English and run online by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. The subscription model used for sessions can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and scheduling follows from there.

Approaches Cherelle lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
She also employs solution-focused therapy to identify small, practical steps that move things in a better direction. This approach highlights strengths and what already helps, so sessions often end with short, doable goals to try between meetings.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process and is decided together. Cherelle discusses goals, preferences and what has helped before, then adapts the way she works to suit the person. The collaboration helps keep the work relevant and focused.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to make counselling easier to fit into life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can feel simpler, and messaging or live chat can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options give flexibility for different rhythms and practical needs when arranging therapy.
