Cherrelle Goddard, BACP

Cherrelle Goddard is a BACP counsellor 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. Cherrelle draws on several approaches and keeps sessions straightforward and focused on what the client wants to address.

Cherrelle trained as a child and adolescent counsellor and also holds social work registration with Social Work England. That combination has given her practical experience with safeguarding, child protection, children in care and family reunification. She has spent much of her career supporting young people who have experienced trauma and different forms of abuse.

Her approach blends systemic, person-centred, cognitive behavioural and psychodynamic ideas. In practice this means looking at relationships and patterns, listening to what the person says about their life, and using thoughts-and-behaviour work alongside reflections about past experience. Sessions tend to focus on skills for emotional regulation and managing difficult feelings like anger and anxiety.

Cherrelle describes her style as curious, creative and relational. She aims to build trust and to work with the client’s strengths when making a plan. This includes practical steps to reduce stress, improve communication and rebuild confidence.

She has experience supporting people involved with social care systems and understands related stresses. If someone needs help with feelings of emptiness, guilt, shame, isolation, body image concerns, or self-harm urges, these are included among her areas of work.
