About Cherena
Cherena Morlese offers straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or relationship strain. She is a BACP counsellor with nine years' experience and works with clients facing addictions, trauma and abuse, eating and sleeping issues, parenting stress, low self-esteem and career concerns.
Sessions focus on small, practical steps that can be used between meetings to help people cope day to day. Cherena uses a client-centred stance that starts by listening closely to what matters most to each person.
Background and approach
She combines that with evidence-informed methods to help people notice patterns, try small changes and build new ways of handling difficult feelings. Her approach aims to be warm, straightforward and respectful of each person's background. In sessions she may draw on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive-behavioural ideas to reduce distress and increase choices in how someone responds to painful thoughts.
Attachment-based thinking is used where relationship patterns and early experiences shape current ways of relating. These tools are offered as practical options rather than fixed rules. Cherena works with practical life concerns such as parenting strain, caregiver stress, communication problems, blended family issues and navigating divorce or separation.
She also supports people coping with addiction, grief, compassion fatigue and body image or eating-related struggles. Sessions are available across the United Kingdom and to international clients in English. People who want to start are invited to use the platform's booking flow to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that suits them.

Approaches for online healing and everyday coping
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without fighting them, and choose actions that reflect their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and life changes where making small behaviour shifts matters.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationships shape present patterns. It focuses on understanding how people connect, and on building different ways of relating that reduce repeated hurts and improve communication.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will listen to your goals and suggest which methods to try first, then adapt how you work together as progress and preference become clearer. That makes therapy collaborative rather than one-size-fits-all.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which allow flexibility in timing and style. Video sessions are close to face to face, phone sessions can fit a break at work or use less bandwidth, live chat suits shorter check-ins and messaging lets people reflect between contacts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the focus on practical steps and steady progress.
