Cherelle Medas , BACP

Cherelle Medas recognizes that the pace of change since the 2020 Covid pandemic, alongside other global and personal events, has reshaped how people live, work, manage finances, and relate to others. These shifts can surface as anxiety, depression, stress, or other difficulties that make daily life feel harder to manage.

When coping feels challenging, Cherelle offers a warm, non-judgmental space to talk and to make sense of what is happening. As a professional counsellor, she provides empathetic listening and gentle guidance, helping clients explore their experiences and develop practical coping strategies designed to build self-confidence and personal autonomy. She works with people facing a range of concerns, from immediate distress to those pursuing personal development and future goals even when not in crisis.

Cherelle takes an integrative approach, selecting therapeutic methods that best suit each person’s needs so counselling is tailored rather than one-size-fits-all. She holds a BACP credential, which indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, the professional body for counsellors in the United Kingdom. Cherelle aims to support clients through each step of the process with patience and respect.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Cherelle draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes a supportive, non-directive relationship where the client’s own goals and experiences guide the work; this approach is helpful for building self-esteem, processing life changes, and feeling heard. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical, solution-focused method that looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and offers strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns. Existential Therapy is another influence in her practice, helping people explore meaning, life purpose, and the experience of change when feeling stuck or uncertain.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Cherelle works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Her aim is to tailor the combination of approaches so therapy feels relevant and useful.

Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for people balancing work, family, or changing circumstances. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, schedule sessions that suit life commitments, and access therapists without travel, while still engaging in meaningful therapeutic work with licensed professionals.
