About Cherelle
Cherelle Richards is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people manage anxiety, depression and the stress of life changes. She works with people feeling isolated, struggling with obsessive thoughts, or questioning identity. Cherelle aims to make the first step into therapy easier and less daunting.
Cherelle listens with respect and compassion. Sessions are person-focused and paced to what each client needs. She often takes a steady, practical approach so people can try small changes between meetings.
Background and approach
Her practice highlights include support for trauma and abuse, relationship concerns, grief and intimacy-related issues. She also supports people with parenting worries, career decisions, and midlife transitions. Additional focus areas include codependency, jealousy, and issues related to non-monogamous relationships and alternative sexual cultures.
With three years of professional experience, Cherelle draws on client-centred work and solution-focused methods to guide sessions. Client-Centred Therapy prioritises the person’s own perspective and choices. Solution-Focused Therapy aims to identify concrete steps that move things forward.
Sessions are offered in English and available through video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Scheduling follows a short matching questionnaire and then arranging appointments to suit both client and counsellor. Fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
Approaches and how online therapy works
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in the room and their own experience. The counsellor listens without directing, so the client can explore feelings and values at their own pace. This approach helps when someone needs space to understand emotions and build self-trust.Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps that move things forward. It asks what a preferred future looks like and identifies immediate actions to reach it. This is useful for people wanting short-term goals and clear progress on anxiety, stress or relationship concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options and agree a plan based on the client’s needs, goals and preferences. The process is collaborative, with regular check-ins to see what is helping and what might need to change.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make contact more flexible. Video is good for full conversation and non-verbal cues, phone works when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a quicker check-in and messaging suits brief reflections between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
