About Cherena
Counsellor Cherena Morlese is a BACP member with nine years' experience. She works in the United Kingdom and helps people with stress, anxiety, relationship and family issues, grief, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting concerns, anger and self-esteem. Cherena also supports people facing career changes, compassion fatigue and other life adjustments.
She uses several talking approaches and keeps sessions practical. Cherena often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going. Attachment-Based and Client-Centred ideas shape how she builds trust and listens to what matters to each person.
Cherena also references Jungian ideas when people want to look at personal patterns and deeper meaning. Sessions can include straightforward exercises, psychoeducation and problem-solving for everyday stresses. The emphasis is on clear steps people can try between meetings.
She works with issues such as codependency, communication problems, divorce and separation, domestic violence, substance problems, body image and caregiver stress. Cherena names abandonment, attachment issues, avoidant and antisocial personality concerns among her focus areas when relevant to someone’s situation.
Sessions are conducted in English and Cherena accepts international clients. Costs vary with location and the service uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches used in online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It supports choosing actions that matter to the person rather than trying to remove all unpleasant feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and is useful for anxiety, low mood and habits people want to change.Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships affect current patterns. It can help when people repeat the same relationship difficulties or struggle with trust and closeness. Cherena combines these approaches with Client-Centred listening to make decisions together about what will help most.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will check needs, goals and preferences and agree a plan together. That plan may bring in ACT, CBT, attachment ideas or Jungian perspectives depending on what the person wants to focus on.
The original profile does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a working day or to have shorter check-ins when needed. They also remove the need to travel and can be chosen for quieter surroundings or when being on camera is not wanted.
