More about Cherelle
- 3 years' experience
- Female
- BACP, NCPS
I am licensed in the UK with 5 years of professional work experience. I have the most experience with clients who are facing depression and anxiety, feelings of isolation, identity, obsessive thoughts and building resilience.
I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I understand the weight of that first step into therapy, and commend all who choose therapy for undertaking such a great step towards their own well being.
My hopes for all of the work I do, is to be a leaning post, a sounding board, a safe space for exploration- all in the hopes of facilitating therapeutic change. I believe in embracing emotions in their fullness, and from this embrace, building emotional resilience. I truly believe emotional resilience allows us to face the challenges life presents in a way that is rooted in our values, so life can feel less like a battle and more like an adventure deeper into ourselves and the world around us.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
