Cherelle Richards, BACP, NCPS

Cherelle Richards is a United Kingdom-licensed therapist who offers a compassionate, client-focused approach to emotional and relational challenges. She works with people navigating depression and anxiety, feelings of isolation, questions of identity, and persistent obsessive thoughts, supporting them as they build resilience and regain a sense of direction. Cherelle treats every person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, acknowledging the courage it takes to begin therapy and valuing each step a client makes toward wellbeing.

Her practice is intended to be a steady presence - a leaning post and a sounding board where exploration is welcomed and therapeutic change is fostered. She encourages clients to embrace emotions fully and to use that emotional awareness as a foundation for greater resilience. From this foundation, clients can approach life in ways that reflect their values and priorities, turning difficult moments into opportunities for deeper self-understanding and growth.

Cherelle holds BACP and NCPS credentials, indicating recognised professional registration in counselling and psychotherapy. She aims to collaborate with clients to create a supportive space for healing and practical change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Accessible Online Care

Cherelle Richards integrates Client-Centered Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy into her online practice. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, non-judgemental stance where the client leads the pace of exploration and the therapist provides empathic understanding and support - this approach is helpful for building self-esteem, processing emotions, and strengthening the therapeutic relationship. Solution-Focused Therapy is oriented toward identifying practical steps and small, achievable changes; it helps clients who want to clarify goals, overcome specific problems, or find forward motion when feeling stuck.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Cherelle works with each person to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, and together they decide which methods or combination of methods will best support the client’s progress.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These formats make it easier to access regular support from registered professionals without travel, and they allow therapy to fit into everyday life while maintaining the same therapeutic principles and focus on meaningful change.
