About Cherelle

Cherelle Richards is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people manage jealousy alongside related concerns such as anxiety, depression and relationship strain. She approaches sessions with respect and sensitivity, and aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable. Cherelle values a warm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk through difficult feelings and begin to build emotional strength.

Cherelle uses plain, direct conversation to help people make sense of their experience. She listens for what matters to each person and reflects back practical ideas to try between sessions. Her work often focuses on reducing isolation, easing obsessive thoughts, and strengthening resilience so daily life feels more doable.

Her background includes three years of professional experience in counselling. Cherelle holds BACP and NCPS credentials, which are listed as her professional affiliations. She works in English and provides therapy within the United Kingdom.

In sessions she aims to be a steady presence - a sounding board and a place to test new ways of responding to painful emotions. People can expect a collaborative tone, with goals set together and simple steps to practise outside sessions.

Those who want to begin are encouraged to reflect on what they most want to change before booking. Cherelle can help people facing grief, parenting strain, midlife questions, compulsive behaviours, issues around intimacy and alternative sexual cultures, and other life adjustments.

How Cherelle’s approaches guide online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on hearing the person's perspective and following what they say matters most. The counsellor reflects feelings, offers acceptance and helps clients find their own solutions to problems like jealousy, shame or grief.

Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, practical changes that move life in the right direction. Sessions often set short-term goals and try simple experiments between meetings to build forward momentum for issues such as relationship confusion or stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cherelle will help clients choose between listening-focused or action-focused ways of working based on their goals and preferences. The plan is decided together and can change as needs shift.

If you are considering online therapy, check which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow brief check-ins when a longer session does not fit. It can also let people use a quieter surrounding, limit video if that is uncomfortable, or choose a shorter appointment to suit a work break. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt sessions so therapy fits around everyday life rather than replacing it.
