About Clear Spaces Counselling.
Clear Spaces Counselling was created to offer children, teenagers, and young adults a safe and creative space to explore their emotions.
The service is founded & led by Cherrelle Goddard a qualified counsellor with more than 15 years of experience in child and family support.
Cherrelle Goddard is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and is also registered with Social Work England. Over the years, she has worked across schools, family support services, and community projects, helping children and families through a wide range of challenges.
Her work combines therapeutic skill with a deep understanding of child development and family dynamics. This blend ensures that counselling at Clear Spaces is both safe and practical, while still being creative and engaging.
Therapeutic Style.
Sessions are tailored to the age and needs of each young person. For children, this often means creative task, emotional regulation and play. For adolescents, it may involve reflexive conversation, journaling, or creative tools. For young adults, the focus might shift toward identity, relationships, or managing life’s transitions.
What unites all sessions is an approach that is confidential, client-led, trauma-informed, and integrative. Parents and carers are included with care and sensitivity, ensuring support for the whole family.
