About me
Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in a difficult situation? Whether you're navigating grief, anxiety, depression, or another challenge, I'm here to help.
My name is Cheren, and I am a compassionate Therapeutic Counsellor offering one-to-one support for young people and adults in Leeds and online. I provide a safe and confidential space where you can explore your feelings, gain clarity, and find the strength to move forward.
Specialist Areas of Expertise
With over 15 years of experience in mental health, I specialise in helping individuals manage and overcome a range of issues, including:
Neurodiversity
I have experience working with individuals who identify as neurodivergent, including those with ADHD, autism spectrum conditions, and other forms of neurodiversity. I tailor my approach to meet the unique needs of each individual, ensuring a compassionate and understanding environment.
Grief, Loss, and Bereavement
I bring over four years of experience from Cruse Bereavement Care, where I helped individuals navigate the complexities of grief and loss. Whether you're coping with recent loss or unresolved grief, I offer a supportive environment for healing.
Anxiety and Depression
If anxiety or depression is holding you back, I can help you understand and manage your emotions, regain control of your life, and develop healthier coping strategies that support lasting well-being.
Crisis Intervention and Mental Health Assessments
From my work in acute care settings, I have developed extensive experience in therapeutic crisis intervention and conducting mental health assessments, supporting individuals through some of their most challenging moments.
My Experience in Mental Health: Since 2009, I have been dedicated to supporting individuals on their mental health journeys. I began my career working as a Therapeutic Counsellor in various voluntary and private settings, and since 2017, I’ve worked as a Psychological Therapist in acute care and crisis settings within the NHS. I currently serve as a Lead Psychological Therapist in a Community Mental Health Team, helping individuals with complex mental health needs.
How I Can Help: If you're ready to take a new direction in your life or need support during a difficult time, counseling can provide the guidance you need. My approach is friendly, relaxed, and focused on helping you feel at ease.
Why Work with Me? With over 15 years of experience in both the NHS and private practice, I’m deeply committed to providing compassionate, ethical support to help individuals from all walks of life thrive. As a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), I adhere to the highest standards of professionalism.
Take the First Step: Reach out today, and let's take the first step together on your journey toward healing and personal growth.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred).
Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision.
Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training.
All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
