Cherelle Richards
Gentle, goal-focused counselling for common struggles
About Cherelle
Cherelle Richards helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, stress or big life changes. She works with people who struggle with self-esteem, relationships, grief and intimacy-related issues. Her style aims to make that first step feel manageable and respectful.
Cherelle uses a client-centred approach, which means she listens first and follows each person's pace. That helps people feel heard and decide what matters most to them. She also draws on solution-focused techniques to set clear, short-term goals and notice small changes that make life easier.
Background and approach
Her interests include trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue and parenting concerns. She also supports people navigating codependency, commitment worries, jealousy and issues linked to alternative sexual cultures and non-monogamous relationships. Cherelle pays attention to cultural and immigration-related stresses when they come up.
She has three years of professional experience and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. BACP stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and NCPS refers to the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society. Those are the qualifications listed for her practice.
Sessions may follow whatever pace a person needs. Cherelle aims to be a steady presence - a sounding board and a partner in practical change. She focuses on everyday skills, small adjustments and clearer goals so people can cope better between sessions.
Therapy is offered in English and conducted from the United Kingdom. People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

The counsellor and person identify clear goals and look for what is already working. This style is helpful for tackling stress, relationship problems and short-term practical issues.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try different tactics to see what fits. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that feels realistic and manageable.
