Cherelle Medas, BACP

Cherelle Medas is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety and life changes. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Cherelle offers a calm, listening approach and helps people build coping strategies and greater self-confidence.

Cherelle works with a wide range of concerns including depression, grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, career stress and compassion fatigue. She also focuses on attachment and abandonment issues, body image, codependency, guilt and shame, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. Sessions aim to make everyday life feel more manageable.

Her practice draws on client-centred therapy, cognitive behavioural techniques, existential exploration and psychodynamic ideas. In conversation she uses straightforward language and practical exercises where useful. The goal is to identify patterns, try new ways of responding, and support clearer decision-making.

Cherelle offers individual counselling for people who want personal development, work on future goals, or need short-term support during difficult periods. Sessions can include reflective conversation, coping tools and gentle challenge to help people move forward. She adapts the approach to each person's needs rather than following a fixed formula.

People who value a compassionate listener and practical steps to change often find her style helpful. Cherelle aims to create a steady, non-judgemental space where matters can be talked through and manageable plans can be made.

How her approaches come to life online

Cherelle uses client-centred therapy to prioritise the person in the room. That means sessions focus on listening and reflecting what matters to each individual, helping them feel heard and understood while they work out next steps.

She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy or CBT to spot unhelpful thinking and try practical changes. CBT can help with anxiety, panic attacks, low mood and problem patterns by teaching simple experiments and coping techniques to test different ways of responding.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. Cherelle will ask about needs, goals and preferences and adapt methods to fit what the person wants to achieve. The aim is a collaborative plan that feels doable and relevant.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and more natural conversation, while phone sessions can be quicker check-ins or suit lower bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter updates, reflective writing or flexible scheduling across the week. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and daily routines.
