Cherisse Amusa, NCPS

Cherisse Amusa helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship strain. She supports those coping with big life changes, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns and sleep problems. Parents and people worried about self-esteem, career pressures or compassion fatigue can also find practical support. Cherisse works with issues tied to family of origin, attachment wounds, abandonment and communication breakdowns.

Cherisse uses an approachable, conversational style in sessions. She listens first, then offers tools people can use between meetings. Sessions often include practical exercises, skill-building and gentle reflection to make daily life feel more manageable. She aims to balance emotional understanding with clear steps for change.

Her background includes a Master of Science in Psychology and six years of experience in clinical roles. Before counselling she worked in criminal justice and has been employed across non-profits, independent practice and employee assistance programmes. That mix informs her practical, down-to-earth approach.

Clinically she draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques, dialectical behaviour skills and mindfulness practices. These methods are used to address mood disorders, relationship patterns, identity questions and trauma-related difficulties.

Cherisse is registered as NCPS and practises from the United Kingdom. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients. To begin, people use the site Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist's availability.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Attachment-based work focuses on patterns from close relationships. It helps when past hurts affect current connections and emotional safety. Client-centred therapy emphasizes being heard and understood, giving space for people to find their own answers with the therapist's supportive stance.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Cherisse will discuss what matters to the person and try different ways of working until something fits. The choice of methods is collaborative and guided by the client's goals and preferences.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow quicker check-ins during difficult periods. It can also make some exercises, like mindfulness practice or behavioural experiments, simpler to do between sessions. Registered or accredited professionals will help adapt techniques to online settings so the work can still be practical and hands-on.
