About me

Hello, I’m Cherrelle, an Integrative Counsellor based in London.

About You

You may be feeling stuck, low, or overwhelmed, and considering therapy as a way to help you make sense of what’s going on. Perhaps you’re facing challenges in relationships, work, or life transitions, or maybe you’re looking for a space to understand yourself more deeply.

Whatever has brought you here, seeking therapy is a significant and courageous step. Counselling can offer a safe place to explore your feelings, gain clarity, and move forward – whether you are looking for support with a specific issue, hoping to understand yourself more deeply, or wanting to enhance your overall wellbeing. Through this process, it is possible to uncover new perspectives, build resilience, and experience a greater sense of balance and hope in your life.

What’s Next?

Finding the right counsellor is key. You are welcome to contact me to arrange an initial consultation. This will be an opportunity for us to discuss what you would like from counselling, explore how I work, and consider how we can work together.

My Approach

My practice is rooted in empathy, respect, and collaboration. I see you as the expert in your own life, and my role is to support you in uncovering your strengths and developing new ways to cope, grow, and heal.

I provide a safe, non-judgemental space where you can reflect on your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Together, we will work through your challenges and move towards your goals at a pace that feels right for you.

As an Integrative Counsellor, I draw on a range of therapeutic models, tailoring each session to your individual needs:

  • Humanistic Therapies – focusing on understanding your experiences and feelings, increasing self-awareness, and supporting self-discovery
  • Psychodynamic Therapies – exploring how past experiences and unconscious patterns may be shaping your thoughts, feelings, and relationships today.
  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) – helping you identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours, building more balanced ways of coping.

This flexible approach allows the work to adapt as your needs evolve, ensuring therapy remains personal, relevant, and meaningful.

Couples and Relationship Counselling

I offer counselling to intimate couples, friends, and business partners, creating a safe, confidential, and supportive space to explore feelings, behaviours, and challenges. Whether you’re facing communication difficulties, conflict, trust issues, or simply want to deepen your connection, I can support you to navigate these experiences together.

In sessions, we’ll work collaboratively to identify unhelpful patterns, build healthier ways of relating, and develop practical strategies to strengthen your relationship, while fostering empathy, respect, and mutual growth.

You don’t need to wait until things feel unmanageable to seek support. Counselling can be just as valuable when things are going well, offering an opportunity to enhance communication, deepen emotional connection, and develop conflict-resolution skills before problems escalate.

For some, counselling also provides a supportive space to explore uncertainty about the future of the relationship. Together, we can reflect openly, gain clarity, and decide whether to repair and recommit, or to separate with care and mutual respect.

Difference and Diversity

I embrace difference and diversity and aim to create an affirming and inclusive therapeutic environment where clients feel respected and valued, regardless of their identities or experiences.

I recognise the complexity of intersectionality – the way race, gender, sexuality, class, disability, and other identities combine to shape each person’s unique experience. This awareness informs my practice, enabling me to approach your story with curiosity, empathy, and respect for both your individuality and the systemic challenges you may face.

I am committed to cultural humility, inclusivity, and social justice. I provide a safe and affirming space for clients of all sexual orientations, gender identities, and relationship practices, supporting you to explore your identity and experiences without fear of discrimination or judgement.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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
