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 such as stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, grief and depression, and problems with addiction. Cherena also helps people dealing with eating and sleeping issues, parenting strain, anger and low self-esteem.
Her work is practical and discussion-based. She listens to what someone brings and helps them develop coping strategies. Sessions include clear explanations about processes and simple tools to try between meetings. She also offers coaching-style support for career concerns and life transitions.
Cherena draws on a mix of approaches to suit different needs. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used for thinking and behaviour patterns that keep problems going. Client-centred work focuses on conversational reflection and making the client’s priorities central to each session. Attachment-based ideas are brought in when relationship patterns and early attachments are relevant.
She notes attention to issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, communication problems, codependency, and blended family challenges. Cherena also addresses substance and eating-related concerns and the stress faced by caregivers. Her style aims to make therapy understandable and applicable to day-to-day life.
Sessions and next steps start online through a short questionnaire and scheduling system. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. International clients are accepted and sessions are offered in English.
How therapeutic approaches work in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values. It can help when anxiety or avoidance gets in the way of building a life you want. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and supports practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to relationship patterns that began earlier in life and how they affect current connections and conflict.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cherena will collaborate with clients to identify which methods fit best for their goals and preferences. That may mean trying one approach for a few sessions and then adjusting based on what helps most. The process is shared and discussed rather than fixed from the start.
Session logistics should be checked before booking because this profile does not list specific formats. Ask about the available ways to meet and which suit your routine. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around study, shifts or irregular timetables, allow shorter check-ins, or avoid travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can describe the practical options and help arrange sessions that slot into everyday life.
