About Cherisse
Cherisse Amusa is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship strain. She also supports people coping with life changes, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and difficulties with intimacy. Cherisse works with concerns such as sleeping problems, career pressure and compassion fatigue.
She uses clear, practical ways to help people feel steadier day to day. Cherisse trained in psychology and holds the NCPS credential, which she uses alongside six years of professional experience.
Background and approach
Before becoming a counsellor she worked in criminal justice, and she has carried that experience into roles in non-profits, employee assistance programmes and independent practice. That background shaped her interest in trauma and attachment issues. In sessions she blends approaches to fit each person’s needs.
She draws on cognitive behavioural methods to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and on dialectical behaviour tools for managing strong emotions. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current connections. Her style is straightforward and collaborative.
People can expect practical skills, reflective conversation and short-term strategies to try between sessions. Cherisse pays attention to safety, boundaries and the realities of everyday life as people work on change. For someone unsure where to start she offers a calm, patient space to talk through priorities.
People who want to explore mood, relationships or trauma-related difficulties will find a mix of listening and skill-building in her approach.

Online support
She also draws on attachment-based therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps when intimacy, abandonment or long-standing relationship difficulties are part of the concern. Sessions explore patterns and practise new ways of relating.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cherisse will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and adjust methods as progress is made. That collaborative process helps pick techniques that fit a person's life and needs.
Online therapy offers flexibility for many people. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when eye contact and body language matter. Phone sessions use less data and can fit into a work break. Live chat or text messaging can be useful for shorter check-ins, tracking moods or when someone prefers writing to talking. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around busy schedules.
