About Cherena
Cherena Morlese is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain and a wide range of life challenges. She works in a calm, respectful way and aims to help people find clearer thinking and steadier routines. Cherena uses straightforward talk, practical tools and empathy to help clients feel less overwhelmed and more able to cope.
With nine years of experience, Cherena draws on several evidence-informed approaches to match the needs of each person. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and build workable habits. Attachment-based ideas and client-centred conversation help explore relationship patterns and emotional needs.
Cherena offers support for grief, depression, addiction concerns, eating and sleeping problems, parenting stress and career-related pressures. She also works with issues such as abandonment, codependency, communication problems and the effects of trauma and abuse. Conversations may include psychoeducation and practical coping strategies tailored to daily life.
The practice is open to people from diverse backgrounds and Cherena highlights culturally sensitive care for clients from Black, Asian and minority ethnic communities. Sessions aim to be collaborative so people leave with clearer next steps and small, realistic goals.
To begin, the process involves completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session through the Start Therapy button. Cherena uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and she accepts clients internationally.
How therapeutic approaches shape online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and it supports building a values-driven life. It is often used for anxiety, stress and motivation problems. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together, and it offers practical steps to change unhelpful patterns that feed depression or worry. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship experiences affect current connections and communication, helping people understand patterns that show up in close relationships.Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your situation, discuss goals and try different ways of working together. Decisions about methods and exercises are collaborative and can be adjusted as you go.
The original profile does not specify which online session formats are used, so please confirm options when booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow a quicker check-in between appointments. Some formats can work better for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited, while others suit deeper therapeutic work. Discussing practical arrangements before the first session helps match the format to your needs.
