Cherelle Medas , BACP

Cherelle Medas is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people manage stress, anxiety and life changes. She holds BACP accreditation, and uses conversational, down-to-earth sessions to help clients build confidence and practical coping skills.

Cherelle offers individual counselling for people who want to work on mood concerns such as depression, panic, or low self-esteem. She also supports people facing career strain, relationship difficulties, grief, caregiver stress and feelings of emptiness or isolation. Sessions are aimed at helping people notice patterns and make small, realistic changes.

Her style is warm and non-judgemental. Cherelle listens first, then helps people set clear, achievable goals. She blends talking therapies with straightforward tools so people can practise new ways of thinking and behaving between sessions.

Over four years she has worked with a range of concerns including body image, attachment and abandonment worries, codependency, guilt and shame, and intimacy-related issues. She also offers coaching-style support for career and life-purpose questions.

Cherelle uses a mix of approaches to suit each person. In sessions she explores emotions and history, and also focuses on practical steps to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning. Her aim is to help people feel more capable of handling life’s demands and to build greater self-love and resilience.

How Cherelle’s approaches translate to online therapy

Cherelle commonly uses Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening with empathy and helping people find their own answers; this helps with self-esteem, life decisions and grief. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT to identify unhelpful thought patterns and teach practical skills for anxiety, panic and mood concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then adapt methods as sessions progress. This collaborative process helps ensure the approach fits the person rather than the other way around.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow a near face-to-face experience, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day. These options offer flexibility and make it simpler to keep continuity of care across changing schedules.
