Cherrelle Goddard, BACP

Cherrelle Goddard is an integrative child and adolescent counsellor practicing in the United Kingdom with nine years of clinical experience. She blends systemic, person-centred, cognitive behavioural, and psychodynamic approaches to meet each young person's needs, tailoring plans that draw on their strengths and lived experience. Working with children, adolescents and families, she supports a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.

Cherrelle adopts a curious, creative and relational style, aiming to build trust through compassion, sensitivity and respect. She views young people as experts in their own stories and collaborates with them to develop practical, individualised strategies for emotional regulation, confidence and recovery from difficult experiences. Her additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, blended family dynamics, body image, communication and control concerns, feelings of emptiness, family problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation or loneliness, self-harm, self-love, and social anxiety.

In addition to her counselling qualification, Cherrelle is a qualified social worker registered with Social Work England, the regulatory body for social workers in England. That background informs her experience supporting young people and families involved with social care, and she has extensive knowledge of safeguarding matters such as child protection, children in care and reunification. Cherrelle believes the first step to positive change is seeking support and offers an empowering, strengths-based partnership for young people ready to begin that journey.
