Cherelle Richards, BACP, NCPS

Cherelle Richards is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing anxiety, depression and major life changes. She works with people feeling isolated or stuck, and those wrestling with obsessive thoughts and questions about identity. Cherelle aims to make the first step into therapy easier by offering steady support and respectful listening.

Cherelle uses straightforward, empathetic conversation to help people explore feelings and find what matters to them. She frames sessions as a place to talk things through, notice patterns, and practise small changes that fit into everyday life. Her approach is grounded in helping people build emotional resilience so they can respond to problems with more confidence.

Clients often bring concerns such as relationship strain, grief, parenting stress, career uncertainty, or midlife crisis. Cherelle also works with people dealing with shame, codependency, commitment worries, and questions around sexuality and alternative relationship styles. She aims to hold complex topics with sensitivity and without judgement.

With three years of experience, Cherelle draws on client-centred and solution-focused ways of working to keep sessions practical and person-led. Client-Centred Therapy foregrounds the person’s own goals and experience. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, achievable steps toward change.

How her approaches translate into online therapy

Cherelle works from Client-Centred Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. Client-Centred Therapy means the conversation follows the person’s priorities and pace, with the counsellor offering empathic listening and reflection to help people make sense of their feelings. Solution-Focused Therapy focuses on practical change by identifying small steps and resources that already exist in a person’s life, which can help with issues like stress, relationship difficulties and midlife questions.

Finding the right way of working is a shared process. Cherelle will collaborate with each person to decide which approach, or blend of approaches, feels best for their goals and circumstances. She discusses goals, checks what is helping, and adapts plans as progress is made.

Practical benefits of online work can include easier scheduling and fitting sessions around work or family life, shorter check-ins when needed, and being able to take part without travel. The profile does not list specific session formats here, so please confirm the available formats before booking. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists can help tailor online work to fit everyday routines and commitments.
