Cherisse Amusa helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression and relationship challenges. She also supports clients facing trauma, intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, low self-esteem and career uncertainty. Cherisse works in straightforward, practical ways so people can cope better in daily life.

Cherisse draws on six years of clinical experience and holds NCPS as a listed credential. Before counselling she worked in criminal justice, which shaped her understanding of complex emotional situations.

Background and approach

She has worked in non-profit settings, independent practice and employee assistance programmes. Her style is warm and collaborative. Sessions focus on what a person wants to change and the small steps that can lead there.

Practical tools are used alongside conversations about patterns and past experiences. Cherisse uses several approaches to suit different needs. Attachment-based ideas help when past relationships affect current ones.

Cognitive behavioural techniques help people challenge unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviours. Mindfulness and dialectical skills are offered to manage intense feelings and build calm. Therapy can include single-session goals or longer work on deeper issues such as family of origin, abandonment, infidelity, or personality-related struggles.

She also supports people coping with compassion fatigue, guilt and shame, isolation, jealousy and finding life purpose. Sessions are available in English and she accepts international clients.

Online approaches that focus on patterns and practical skills

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and behaviours. It helps when fears of abandonment, trust issues or family of origin problems make relationships hard to manage. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and acting. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep difficulties by giving clear strategies to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to choose methods that match goals and preferences. That might mean prioritising skills from CBT for quick relief, using attachment ideas to slow down and understand patterns, or combining techniques over time.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation across distances. Phone sessions use less data and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in without scheduling a full call and can be useful for brief support or between-session contact. These options make it easier to keep therapy going around work, travel and family life.
