She holds the NCPS credential and an MSc in Psychology, a master-level qualification that informs her interest in trauma, attachment, and relational dynamics.

Cherisse practices from an integrative perspective, combining methods to match each person's needs. She has specialised training in Transactional Analysis and incorporates skills from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help clients build coping strategies, manage emotions, and address patterns that affect relationships and wellbeing. Her work includes individual adult counselling and group facilitation, with particular focus on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, and challenges such as sleep difficulties and low self-esteem.

Clients can expect a collaborative, person-centered process in which therapeutic goals are shaped together. Cherisse works with international clients and offers multiple ways to connect that suit different lifestyles and needs. She aims to support people through life changes, improve communication and attachment, and strengthen resilience over time.

Therapeutic approaches and flexible online care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of relating. It helps people explore attachment styles, repair relational wounds, and build more secure connections in partnerships and family contexts. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a compassionate, nonjudgmental stance that prioritises the client’s own goals and resources; the therapist offers empathy and support to help individuals clarify values, increase self-understanding, and make meaningful changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) addresses unhelpful thoughts and behaviours by helping clients identify patterns, test assumptions, and develop practical coping strategies for anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Cherisse works collaboratively with each person to determine what methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions over time, drawing from different models to support progress in ways that feel useful and sustainable.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, or through live chat and text-based messaging - which can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, accommodate different comfort levels with technology, and connect across time zones. These options help people access consistent support from licensed professionals without needing to travel, allowing focus on therapeutic work in ways that suit individual circumstances.
