About Cherena
Cherena Morlese is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with nine years of practice. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, grief, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, and issues around eating, sleeping and parenting.
Cherena uses conversational, evidence-informed methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. She offers practical tools and short exercises to try between sessions. Sessions are focused on what is causing distress now and on small steps that can change daily patterns.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-informed ideas. Cherena also integrates client-centred and Jungian perspectives where these fit a person's needs. She explains methods clearly and offers psychoeducation about how emotions can affect the body.
People meet here for concrete support with communication problems, coping with life changes, work stress, parenting strain, and addictive behaviours. She also helps with more specific concerns such as abandonment issues, body image, codependency and blended family difficulties. The focus is on practical strategies and clearer thinking to reduce distress.
Sessions begin with a short assessment to identify goals and priorities. From there, Cherena and the client plan steps that feel manageable. She asks clients to feedback on what works and adjusts the approach as needed. This keeps work focused and goal-oriented.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is about noticing thoughts and choosing actions that align with personal values. It helps when someone feels stuck and wants to increase meaningful activity despite difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and trying practical experiments to change behaviour and mood. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep or eating problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and how early bonds influence current reactions, which can help with trust, communication and relationship stress.Choosing the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with the client, set clear goals and test what helps. This is collaborative: methods are adjusted based on a person's responses and preferences rather than fixed from the start.
If you plan to meet online, confirm the exact session formats before booking since the profile does not list them explicitly. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time. They also let people use exercises, worksheets and brief between-session tasks that suit everyday life. Registered or accredited professionals will explain how they usually run online sessions when you book.
