About Cherelle

Cherelle Richards offers calm, down-to-earth support for people feeling overwhelmed by trauma, anxiety, depression or major life changes. She speaks plainly and listens closely so clients can find steadier footing. Cherelle aims to help people name what’s happening, decide what matters most, and take small steps that feel possible.

Cherelle uses a client-centred style that puts a person’s experience at the heart of sessions. That means she follows what matters to the client, reflects what she hears, and helps people make sense of their feelings.

Background and approach

She also draws on solution-focused ideas to set clear, short-term goals and spot practical ways forward. People come to her with a wide range of concerns, including trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, parenting strain, and work or career stress.

She also supports those navigating identity, cultural or immigration questions, and people exploring non-traditional sexualities such as BDSM and polyamory. Cherelle holds BACP and NCPS credentials and has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She speaks English and conducts sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.

International clients are not accepted. Sessions are run through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time, with cost varying by location and therapist availability. To begin, choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a time that fits with the therapist’s calendar.

Ways of working Cherelle names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How these approaches work online

Cherelle uses client-centred work to focus on the person rather than on a fixed plan. In practice she listens closely, reflects what she hears and follows what matters most to the client. This approach suits people who need space to be heard and to make sense of difficult emotions.

She also draws on solution-focused therapy to set clear, short-term goals and try small, practical changes. That method helps when someone wants concrete steps to manage anxiety, move through loss, or tackle relationship and life challenges.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through priorities, try different ways of working and adapt methods to fit the client's needs and preferences. Together they agree on goals and review progress as therapy continues.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make work possible around busy lives. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be shorter check-ins with lower bandwidth, and chat or messaging can suit people who prefer writing or need flexible timing. These options aim to make therapy more accessible and easier to fit into daily routines.
