Cherisse Amusa, NCPS

Cherisse Amusa NCPS welcomes people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, jealousy and life changes. She also supports those facing trauma, depression, intimacy concerns, sleeping problems and low self-esteem. Cherisse works with adults who want practical ways to cope and to understand repeated patterns that cause pain.

Cherisse trained in psychology and holds an NCPS credential. She built earlier experience in criminal justice and moved into clinical roles across non-profits, independent practice and employee assistance programmes. That mix informs a direct, down-to-earth approach to sensitive issues like domestic violence, abandonment and family of origin concerns.

In sessions she blends methods so the work matches each person. She uses Attachment-Based approaches to look at relationship patterns and Client-Centred ways to keep the conversation focused on the person in front of her. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and DBT skills are used for practical tools to manage mood, anxiety and distress.

Therapy tends to include clear goals, short-term coping strategies and gentle work on deeper themes. Cherisse also has group facilitation experience and can suggest exercises to practise between meetings. She aims to make therapy feel like a steady, understandable process rather than an overwhelming one.

If someone is unsure where to start, Cherisse encourages a simple first step: a short matching questionnaire and an initial session to set aims. She works in English and accepts international clients, and uses an approach that adapts to each person’s situation and pace.

How Cherisse’s approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based work looks at how early relationship patterns shape current feelings and reactions. Online sessions can be used to map those patterns and practise new ways of relating in everyday life. Client-Centred work focuses on the person’s experience and priorities, giving space to be heard and to set the pace of therapy.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Cherisse will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit a person’s goals and situation. That may mean using CBT or DBT skills alongside attachment conversations, or prioritising short-term coping strategies first.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family and travel. It can reduce time spent travelling, allow quieter check-ins during a lunch break, or make it simpler to meet when away from home. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, practice skills together in the session, and help people carry progress into everyday routines.
