About Sherrie
Counsellor Sherrie Root is a BACP member with three years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem or big life changes. Her work also covers family issues, caring stress, body image and relationship concerns such as infidelity or separation.
Sherrie uses a mix of talking approaches to suit each person. She listens and follows what the client brings, while also offering practical tools to manage fears, low mood and anxiety. Sessions move at the client's pace and aim to build clearer self-awareness and more helpful ways of coping.
Her interest in early attachment and life history shapes how she looks at patterns of behaviour. That perspective can help people see how past experiences affect present choices. She also draws on solution-focused work to identify small, practical steps people can try between sessions.
Sherrie offers remote and telephone counselling that is intended to fit around everyday life. She encourages people to notice and practise coping skills outside sessions so progress carries into daily routines. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
For a first appointment, people are asked to use the See online counselling options button, complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not currently accepted.
How Sherrie uses talking approaches in remote counselling
Client-centred work means the counsellor follows what the person brings and reflects it back. It focuses on listening, recognising feelings and helping the client make their own decisions about change.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try practical strategies to reduce anxiety or low mood.
Psychodynamic ideas pay attention to past relationships and early experiences that shape current patterns. This can help someone understand recurring problems and why they react in certain ways.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sherrie will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and agree a practical way forward. The plan can change as needs and progress become clearer, and the choice of methods is a collaborative decision.
Practical benefits of remote and telephone counselling include fitting sessions around work, school runs or caring commitments. Phone sessions can be quicker to set up and may suit people who do not want to use video. Confirm the precise session formats available before booking so they match everyday routines.
