Cherrelle Goddard
Integrative counsellor focused on practical change
About Cherrelle
Cherrelle Goddard is a counsellor who blends several therapeutic approaches to meet each person's needs. She holds BACP accreditation and has nine years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom. Cherrelle aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk about difficult feelings and start to make changes.
Her practice draws on systemic ideas, person-centred listening, cognitive behavioural techniques, and psychodynamic thinking. She uses these methods together to help with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical steps alongside exploring patterns that get in the way. Cherrelle has worked across settings where social care and safeguarding are part of the picture. That background means she understands family difficulties, blended family issues, child protection concerns, reunification, and the challenges that can follow complex social care involvement.
She keeps the person’s safety and practical needs in view when planning support. People come to her with concerns such as abandonment worries, attachment difficulties, body image and shame, communication problems, control issues, isolation and loneliness, and struggles with self-harm or self-love. Cherrelle aims to be curious and creative in sessions and to treat people with compassion and respect.
Her way of working is collaborative: she listens, helps clarify goals, and builds a plan suited to each person’s situation. The first step is reaching out and starting a conversation about what help might look like.

How evidence-based approaches work online
Person-centred work focuses on listening and building a trusting connection. It helps people feel heard and supports them to set their own goals for change.Cognitive behavioural techniques look at thoughts and behaviours and offer practical ways to manage anxiety, low mood, and stress. These techniques can include simple exercises and experiments to try between sessions.
Psychodynamic ideas help people notice patterns that repeat in relationships and feelings that come from earlier experiences. This can be useful for issues such as attachment concerns, abandonment fears, or persistent shame.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Cherrelle will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person's needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy lets people choose the format that suits them. Video calls are close to face-to-face work and allow visual cues. Phone sessions take less bandwidth and can be easier when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging offer flexible, on-the-go options for ongoing support. All of these formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, study, or caring responsibilities while keeping the focus on useful, evidence-based techniques.
