About Kerrie
Kerrie McCabe is a counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has six years' experience and works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addiction, low self-esteem and depression, as well as relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief and parenting strains.
Kerrie draws on client-centred methods alongside practical cognitive behavioural techniques. Sessions are conversational and focused on what the person wants to change. She uses clear, everyday language and encourages people to try out new coping strategies between meetings.
She also brings in ideas from acceptance and commitment work and attachment-based thinking when these fit the situation. That can mean helping someone notice unhelpful patterns, and then experimenting with small behaviour changes and new ways of relating to difficult thoughts and feelings.
Kerrie values straightforward discussion. Humour may be used where it feels appropriate. The emphasis is on working together to understand struggles and to build skills for handling day-to-day pressures such as sleep problems, anger, or caring responsibilities.
Sessions follow the client’s pace. Practical issues like managing stress at work, coping with life changes, or dealing with trauma and abuse are common topics. People can expect direct, conversational sessions that aim to identify useful steps forward rather than long theoretical explanations.
How her approaches can work in online counselling
Kerrie uses cognitive behavioural therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. CBT is concrete and often focuses on small experiments you can try between sessions to test different ways of coping.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy which helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and focus on actions that matter to them. That approach is often helpful for anxiety, low mood and long-term stress. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at patterns in close relationships and how those patterns affect current reactions and expectations.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Kerrie will work with each person to decide which methods to try, based on their goals and what they prefer. The approach can change over time if something is not working.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow brief check-ins when needed. It can also let people use methods like CBT worksheets and homework exercises between sessions to reinforce progress.
