Cherelle Medas, BACP

Cherelle Medas is a BACP-qualified counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people navigating anxiety, depression, stress and a wide range of life challenges. She recognises that events such as the 2020 Covid pandemic and other global and personal changes have altered how people live, work and relate to one another, and she brings a compassionate, non-judgmental presence to help clients make sense of those changes.

Cherelle offers an empathetic listening space where individuals can explore difficulties and build new coping strategies aimed at increasing self-confidence and personal autonomy. Her practice welcomes people in crisis as well as those seeking personal development or help working toward future goals. She provides individual counselling sessions tailored to each person’s circumstances.

Working from an integrative framework, Cherelle blends therapeutic methods to match the unique needs of each client rather than relying on a single technique. She emphasises collaboration, helping clients to identify practical steps and strategies that fit their lives. Cherelle holds BACP accreditation - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - reflecting her commitment to professional standards and ongoing development.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a warm, accepting environment where the client’s concerns are heard and validated. This approach helps people explore their feelings, build self-understanding and increase confidence to make changes in relationships, self-esteem and life direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, goal-oriented method that looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. CBT can be useful for managing anxiety, panic, mood difficulties and unhelpful patterns by teaching strategies to reframe thinking and develop coping skills. Existential Therapy invites reflection on meaning, values and choice when people face life transitions, grief or questions about purpose, helping clients consider how they want to live and what matters most to them.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Cherelle works collaboratively with clients to determine what fits best. She meets clients where they are, discusses goals and preferences, and adapts methods over time so the work remains relevant and practical.

Online therapy offers flexible access to registered professionals and therapists through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit counselling into busy lives, reduce travel time and allow people to continue support during periods of change or limited mobility while maintaining consistent therapeutic contact.
