About Cherelle
Cherelle Richards is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who focuses on helping people feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression and isolation. She also supports people dealing with difficult thoughts, low self-esteem and life transitions. Her approach aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and understood.
Cherelle works in a respectful, sensitive and compassionate way. Sessions are offered in English and she draws on client-centred methods to listen carefully and build understanding together. She uses solution-focused techniques to help people identify small, practical steps that move them towards clearer goals.
Clients often bring issues linked to relationships, grief, parenting and work stress, and Cherelle is experienced in talking through intimacy-related concerns, codependency and related patterns. She also helps people facing abandonment fears, guilt and shame, and those navigating alternative sexual cultures such as kink and polyamory.
With three years of professional experience, Cherelle aims to be a steady presence - a sounding board and a space for honest reflection. She encourages people to name emotions and try new coping strategies that fit their life.
The work focuses on what matters to each person. Sessions explore values, practical options and small changes that add up over time. Prospective clients are invited to read about the matching process and follow the Start Therapy steps to begin.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Cherelle draws on client-centred therapy, which focuses on listening closely and reflecting what matters to the individual. This approach helps people feel heard and understand their own priorities before deciding on next steps.She also uses solution-focused therapy to help people identify small, concrete changes. That style is useful when someone wants short-term goals, clearer next steps and practical strategies to manage anxiety, low mood or relationship patterns.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Cherelle works with each person to decide which methods feel most helpful based on their needs, goals and preferences. She adapts what they try as the work unfolds so it suits the person’s pace and daily life.
Please confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy routines and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or conversations without video when that feels easier. Registered and accredited professionals often find these practical features helpful for maintaining regular progress.
