About Cherisse

Cherisse Amusa is a psychotherapist who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression and the effects of trauma and abuse. She supports people coping with relationship and intimacy concerns, sleep problems, low self-esteem and major life changes. Cherisse also assists with career stress, compassion fatigue and issues tied to family and attachment.

She prefers a straightforward, calm style in sessions. Conversations focus on what is happening now and on practical steps a person can try between meetings.

Background and approach

Cherisse listens for patterns that come from early relationships and from traumatic experiences, then works with each person to find small, manageable changes. Cherisse trained in psychology and holds an NCPS credential. She has six years of clinical experience and has worked in non-profits, employee assistance programmes and independent practice.

Her background before therapy was in criminal justice, which informs her practical view of risk and safety. Her approach draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy, Attachment-Based work, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills. Cherisse mixes these methods to match what a person needs in the moment rather than using one fixed model.

Sessions are person-centred and collaborative. Cherisse aims to help people feel heard and to build tools for managing intense feelings and relationship patterns. She welcomes enquiries from English-speaking clients based in the United Kingdom and internationally.

How therapeutic approaches translate online

Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people understand how past hurt affects current feelings and reactions. In online sessions this can mean working through memories, grounding techniques and learning ways to tolerate strong emotions without becoming overwhelmed.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns from early relationships and how they show up now. Online work focuses on recognising these patterns and practising new ways of relating and communicating within current relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cherisse will listen to your concerns, discuss options and try methods that suit your goals and preferences. The therapist and client decide together which tools to use and adjust them as progress is made.

Online sessions offer flexibility and easier access to care. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that helps. Phone sessions or short live chats are useful when bandwidth is low or for quick check-ins. Text-based messaging can support ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and travel.
