Cherelle Richards, BACP, NCPS

Cherelle Richards welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, grief, stress or confusing relationship issues. She is named up front so readers know who they will meet. Her way of working suits people seeking a calm, non-judgemental space and a practical path forward.

Cherelle uses a person-centred approach which means sessions are shaped around each person's concerns and pace. She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to identify small, practical steps that can make everyday life easier. Both approaches aim to build resilience and clearer choices rather than relying on rigid techniques.

Her background includes three years of professional experience and registration with BACP and NCPS. Those credentials are listed exactly as provided. She works from the United Kingdom and carries that local perspective into her clinical thinking.

Cherelle often supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, grief, parenting stresses, compassion fatigue and the fallout of big life changes. She also has experience with issues such as abandonment, codependency, jealousy, and non-monogamous relationship dynamics, and with obsessive thoughts and mood disorders.

In sessions she listens and reflects back what matters most. She helps set small goals and tests practical steps between meetings. People can expect a steady, empathetic presence and simple tools to try out between sessions.

How Cherelle’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and following what matters to the person. The counsellor offers empathy, reflection and a steady space so people can name their concerns and decide what feels important to change. This approach helps when someone needs support to process emotions or make sense of painful experiences.

Solution-Focused Therapy zooms in on small, practical steps and short-term goals. It looks for what is already working and builds on it with clear actions to try between sessions. This is useful for stress, practical relationship issues and coping with life changes where concrete progress matters.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Cherelle will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. She adapts the pace and focuses on what feels most helpful as things evolve.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule. It can also make it simpler to try things between sessions and review progress together without rearranging large parts of life.
