About Cherena
Cherena Morlese is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with nine years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family challenges, grief, depression, addictions, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strains and anger. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.
Cherena uses practical talking therapy and takes a client-centred stance. She helps people name what feels hard and develop coping strategies they can use day to day. She also offers psychoeducation to explain how emotions and physical symptoms can connect, and to suggest tools for managing distress.
Her background includes work with people facing complex relationship patterns, attachment difficulties, abandonment concerns and communication problems. She also supports those dealing with substance issues, codependency, body image worries and the strain of caregiving.
In sessions she mixes approaches to match what is happening for the person. That might mean looking at thoughts and behaviours, exploring attachment patterns, or using acceptance-based exercises to reduce avoidance. The aim is to create clear steps you can try between meetings.
Cherena encourages straightforward communication about goals and progress. She describes the counselling relationship as collaborative and will discuss practical options for working together, including how sessions are arranged and what to expect at the first meeting.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is about noticing thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them. Online sessions can use ACT exercises to help you practise noticing urges and choosing values-based actions for everyday life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and introduces hands-on strategies for changing unhelpful patterns. CBT tools can be worked through in conversation and with short tasks between sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early and adult relationship patterns shape current reactions. This can help when anger is tied to fear of abandonment, control issues or repeating old relationship dynamics.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Cherena discusses goals and preferences in the first meetings and makes collaborative decisions about which methods to use. She will adjust techniques as needed so the sessions fit what is actually helpful for you.
The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find online work useful because it can fit into a busy week, reduce travel time and make it easier to maintain regular contact. Other practical benefits include simpler check-ins, the option of audio-only conversations when bandwidth is low, and the ability to schedule sessions around work or caregiving commitments. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists generally use these flexible approaches to help keep therapy manageable alongside everyday life.
