About Cherelle
Cherelle Richards offers a calm and straightforward approach for people feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, low mood, or major life changes. She writes plainly and listens closely, helping people name what feels hard and decide what they want to change. Cherelle works from a belief that therapy should be respectful and compassionate.
She sees the first steps into counselling as significant and aims to make them feel manageable. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual and on practical ways to move forward.
Background and approach
Her background includes three years of professional experience and registrations with BACP and NCPS. Cherelle uses this experience to support people with depression, anxiety, feelings of isolation and obsessive thoughts. She also helps with grief, stress, self-esteem and compassion fatigue.
She has particular interest in relationship-related concerns such as intimacy, jealousy and commitment issues, and in areas that can feel hard to talk about like BDSM, kink and non-monogamous relationships. Other focus areas include parenting, career questions, immigration concerns and multicultural issues. In sessions she adopts a client-centred stance and draws on solution-focused techniques.
That means she listens first, reflects what she hears, and helps people build small, practical steps toward their goals. The work is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. Cherelle conducts counselling in English and practices from the United Kingdom.
People can expect plain language, a steady presence and a focus on real-life changes they can try between sessions.

Approaches Cherelle lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Solution-focused therapy concentrates on practical steps and short-term goals. Sessions look for strengths and small changes that make a noticeable difference. This method suits people who want focused, goal-led work and clear ways to track progress.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist will talk about options, check what matters most to the client, and adapt methods to fit their needs and preferences. The work is collaborative and paced to each person.
Online sessions through video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging offer flexibility. Video is good for face-to-face conversation, phone is useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat or messaging can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and travel commitments while keeping continuity of care.
