Cherelle Medas
Supportive counsellor for stress and anxiety
About Cherelle
Cherelle Medas is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who aims to help people make sense of stress, anxiety and life changes. She holds BACP accreditation and uses counselling to support people working through low mood, relationship strain and self-esteem struggles. Cherelle focuses on practical steps as well as understanding the roots of problems.
She offers short- and longer-term work to build coping skills and boost confidence. Sessions look at immediate concerns like panic or anger, and broader issues such as life purpose, grief or career choices.
Background and approach
The aim is to leave people feeling more able to manage day-to-day pressures. Cherelle draws on several approaches to shape sessions. She uses client-centred listening to follow what matters most to the person in the room.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is used to spot unhelpful thought patterns and test new ways of thinking and behaving. Therapy also explores deeper themes when helpful, including attachment, abandonment and patterns that repeat in relationships. Work on body image, codependency, guilt, shame and caregiver stress is offered in a grounded, non-judgemental way.
Sessions are described simply and plainly so it is clear what to expect. Work is available via video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Cherelle uses a subscription model for sessions which can be cancelled at any time.
To begin, a person selects Start Therapy, completes a short matching questionnaire, and then schedules sessions according to the therapist's availability.

How these approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy rests on listening closely and following what matters most to the person. In practice this means the counsellor reflects and asks gentle questions so a person can arrive at their own insights; this approach helps with self-esteem, grief and feeling stuck.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small changes in behaviour. It is often used for anxiety, panic attacks and mood difficulties because it gives practical steps to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences at the start and together decide which methods to use. This is collaborative and can change over time as needs evolve.
Online formats offer flexibility for different days and routines. Video calls let conversations feel closest to face-to-face, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging can be used for shorter check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, family life or a busy schedule, while still focusing on the therapeutic goals discussed with the counsellor.
