Cherelle Richards helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, stress, grief or low self-esteem. She meets clients who need support with relationships, intimacy-related concerns, parenting stress and life changes. Her approach is calm and straightforward, aimed at making the decision to seek help feel easier.

She also draws on solution-focused methods to set clear goals and track progress over time. Her practice includes attention to trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue and multicultural concerns. She also supports people with issues such as codependency, obsessive thoughts and mood disorders.

Cherelle is open to discussing relationship styles, including polyamory and non-monogamous arrangements, as well as matters around kink and alternative sexual cultures. Cherelle holds BACP and NCPS credentials and has three years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom. She values treating people with respect and sensitivity and aims to create a steady, dependable space for change.

Sessions are offered in English. Work with her typically focuses on building emotional resilience and practical coping skills. The emphasis is on small, achievable changes so life feels more manageable.

Cherelle helps people find approaches that match their values and goals.

How these approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person in front of the counsellor. The therapist reflects what is said, helps people name feelings and supports them to find their own solutions; this can be helpful for anxiety, low self-esteem and the aftermath of difficult experiences.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical, forward-looking steps and clear goals. Sessions often identify small changes that make a noticeable difference, which suits people who want measurable progress on stress, relationship challenges or coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cherelle will talk with clients about their needs, goals and preferences and then try methods that feel like a good fit. The choice is collaborative and may evolve as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful when non-verbal cues matter, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging can suit short check-ins or people who prefer text. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, family life and other commitments, and allow people across the United Kingdom to connect in the way that works best for them.
