About Cherrelle
Cherrelle Goddard is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with nine years of clinical experience. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem and coping with life changes. Her background also includes work around abandonment, attachment issues and blended family issues.
Cherrelle uses an integrative way of working that draws on systemic, person-centred, cognitive behavioural and psychodynamic ideas. She keeps sessions practical and conversational. Clients can expect to talk through current problems and to try simple techniques between meetings.
Her earlier work as a social worker included social care involvement and safeguarding. That experience informs how she thinks about family relationships and child protection matters. It also shapes how she talks about reunification and children in care where relevant.
In sessions she stays curious and relational. She offers space to notice strengths and to test out different ways of responding. The aim is to reduce distress and increase confidence in handling everyday stresses.
Cherrelle describes young people as the experts of their own story and works to create plans that suit each person. If someone is concerned about blended household dynamics, she can help them talk through roles, boundaries and communication. To start a placement with her, use the site matching process and schedule a first appointment.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
She uses systemic ideas to look at how relationships and routines shape feelings and behaviour, which can be useful for blended household concerns such as role confusion and co-parenting patterns. Systemic work helps map interactions and clarify where small changes can ease tension.She also uses person-centred practice that focuses on listening and building a trusting conversation. This approach helps people feel heard and supports them to identify their own goals. Cognitive behavioural ideas are used to spot unhelpful thought patterns and to try practical coping strategies for anxiety, anger or low mood.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options collaboratively and agree what to try first, then adjust based on what is helpful. Clients are involved in setting goals and choosing techniques that suit their day-to-day life.
