Cherrelle Goddard, BACP

Cherrelle Goddard is an integrative child and adolescent counsellor who brings nine years of clinical practice to her work with young people and families. She blends systemic, person-centred, cognitive behavioural and psychodynamic approaches to create a tailored, flexible way of working that responds to each person's unique situation. Cherrelle focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem and coping with life changes, and she also supports clients with attachment and abandonment concerns, blended family dynamics, body image, communication and control issues, feelings of emptiness, family difficulties, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation, self-harm, self-love, and social anxiety and phobia.

Her therapeutic style is curious, creative and relational, emphasising compassion, sensitivity and respect to build a trusting connection and co-create a plan that fits individual needs. Cherrelle works from the perspective that young people are experts in their own stories and have strengths that can be drawn on in therapy to promote change and resilience. In addition to counselling qualifications, she is a qualified social worker registered with Social Work England, bringing experience supporting young people and families with social care involvement and extensive knowledge in safeguarding, child protection, children in care and reunification.

Cherrelle aims to empower and support young people at the first step toward positive change, offering a collaborative and strengths-based approach to help clients navigate challenges and build confidence over time.
