About Cherelle

Cherelle Medas works with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and life changes using an integrative approach that includes client-centred and cognitive behavioural ideas. She is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and has four years' experience in the field.

Cherelle offers one-to-one counselling for people who want practical ways to cope and to build confidence. Sessions cover issues such as depression, grief, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, parenting strain, and workplace or career stress. She also works with concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, body image and codependency.

Her way of working is conversational and focused on the person's needs. She listens without judgment and helps clients notice patterns of thinking and behaviour. Where useful, she draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to try out different ways of responding to thoughts and feelings.

Cherelle also uses client-centred and psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences affect present relationships. Existential themes are explored when people wrestle with life purpose, meaning or feelings of emptiness. The mix of approaches is chosen to fit the issues a person brings.

Sessions include practical skills, space to reflect and time to plan next steps. Cherelle welcomes people who want support with coping strategies, emotional awareness and clearer direction for personal development. To begin, clients are asked to use the site's matching process and arrange an initial session.

How Cherelle uses therapeutic approaches in online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience. The counsellor reflects what is said and helps people find their own solutions, which can be useful for self-esteem and relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It involves noticing unhelpful thinking patterns and trying practical experiments to change responses, which often helps with anxiety and panic symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cherelle will discuss options and agree a way of working based on a person's goals, needs and preferences. The collaborative process means plans can be adjusted as sessions progress.

Please check which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and travel commitments, and can allow shorter check-ins or the choice not to use video when that helps a person engage. Registered or accredited professionals typically adapt exercises and practical tasks so they work well across a distance.
