Cherena Morlese, BACP

Cherena Morlese greets people with a calm, practical presence. She helps individuals who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or life changes. She also supports those facing relationship strain, addiction issues, sleep or eating concerns, and problems with self-esteem or parenting.

Cherena works in a client-centred way. Conversations focus on what matters to each person in the moment. She uses clear explanations and simple tools so people can try new ways of coping between sessions. Her aim is to make therapy understandable and useful, not confusing.

With nine years of experience, Cherena draws on a mix of psychological approaches. She uses techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy, mindfulness-informed methods such as acceptance and commitment therapy, attachment-based ideas, and elements of Jungian thinking. These methods are chosen to match the client’s situation and goals.

People from different cultural backgrounds are welcome, and she pays attention to how culture shapes someone’s experience. Sessions include practical discussion about symptoms and everyday problems, plus gentle exploration of past patterns when that is helpful.

Sessions are arranged through an online booking process and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire before booking and then schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

Cherena aims to create a respectful, compassionate space where people can make steady changes. She offers straightforward guidance and works collaboratively so clients feel supported as they try different strategies.

How therapy approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful mental patterns and focus on actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical steps to change unhelpful cycles. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression and sleep or eating difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how past relationship patterns affect current connections and emotional safety, which can help with relationship challenges and some forms of grief.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. This is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted as needs change.

The biography does not list which online formats are offered, so please confirm the available session types before booking. In general, online therapy can make fitting sessions into a busy life easier because there is no travel time and sessions can be scheduled around work or childcare. It also allows for shorter check-ins or sessions that do not require being on camera if that suits you better. Registered or accredited professionals adapt techniques like ACT and CBT so the work remains practical and applicable between sessions.
