About Cherena
Cherena Morlese is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with nine years of experience. She works with adults facing common pressures at home and at work, including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and family concerns, and parenting strain.
Cherena focuses on everyday problems that make life feel heavy. She talks through coping strategies for sleep, eating, anger and addictive behaviours. She also helps people dealing with attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, blended family tensions and communication problems.
Her way of working is person-centred and practical. Sessions include listening, reflection and teaching simple skills from cognitive behavioural approaches and mindfulness. She brings elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas when these suit the situation.
Cherena often uses straightforward psychoeducation to explain how stress and emotions can affect the body and behaviour. She helps people try new ways of responding when long-standing patterns feel stuck. Sessions aim to clarify what matters to the client and to test small changes between meetings.
People who choose her tend to want clear, usable techniques alongside time to talk. She accepts clients from the UK and internationally and works in English. To begin, clients follow the online signposting and booking steps to arrange an initial appointment.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting swept away. It encourages choosing actions that match personal values, which can help with anxiety, low mood and parenting stress.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns of relating that developed in earlier life and that now affect close relationships. This approach can help with issues such as abandonment, trust and communication problems within family roles.
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being listened to and understood. It gives space to make sense of experiences and to decide on practical next steps. This style often sits alongside CBT or mindfulness techniques to offer both reflection and skills work.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences and current situation. That discussion helps shape practical tasks and short-term targets as well as longer-term aims.
Session formats are not specified in the source profile, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people try therapy with a practitioner who accepts international clients without changing where they live.
