Cherelle Medas , BACP

Cherelle Medas offers compassionate, client-centered counselling for people navigating the emotional impact of recent global and personal changes. Many individuals have experienced heightened anxiety, stress, depression and shifts in relationships and routines since the 2020 Covid pandemic, and Cherelle creates a calm, non-judgmental space to explore those reactions and responses.

She listens with empathy to help clients make sense of their feelings, identify patterns, and develop practical coping strategies that build self-confidence and greater autonomy. Cherelle works with individuals on a range of concerns including stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, relationship and family matters, parenting challenges, career stress, and issues around intimacy and attachment.

Her practice also supports people focused on personal development and future goals, not only those in crisis. Using an integrative approach, Cherelle tailors therapy to each person’s needs and preferences so that the methods align with the issues being addressed. She emphasizes collaboration and gradual skill-building so clients leave with tools they can use in everyday life.

Cherelle holds the BACP credential, which refers to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and indicates professional recognition within the counselling field.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Cherelle commonly draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Existential Therapy in her online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a warm, empathetic space where the client’s perspective guides the process; it is helpful for building self-esteem, improving relationships, and feeling heard. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and helps people develop practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns. Existential Therapy explores questions about meaning, choice, and life purpose, which can be useful for those facing major life transitions, feelings of emptiness, or uncertainty about direction.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Cherelle works collaboratively to identify which methods best match a client’s needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so the work remains relevant and personally meaningful.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for people with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or mobility limits. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and access therapy from home or other convenient locations while still working with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor support to each individual.
