About Sherrie
Sherrie Root is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of practice experience. She works with people who feel overwhelmed, stressed, anxious, low in self-esteem, or who are coping with grief and major life changes. Her focus includes family concerns and a wide range of related issues such as isolation, communication problems and caregiver stress.
She uses a mix of approaches to help people understand how past experiences shape current feelings and behaviours. Sessions aim to increase self-awareness and build practical coping skills. Sherrie encourages clients to take the pace that feels right for them and to explore difficult topics without pressure.
Her method involves talking through thoughts and reactions, gently looking at patterns that repeat, and practising strategies to manage anxiety and low mood. Where helpful she uses solution-focused ideas to identify small, manageable steps forward and cognitive behavioural techniques to challenge unhelpful thinking.
Sherrie offers remote and telephone counselling options that are designed to fit into everyday life. She asks people to consider which session style suits their routine when arranging appointments.
People often start by describing a single pressing problem - a recent change at work, a relationship split, or a bereavement - and then broaden the conversation to include wider stresses and attachments. Over time sessions aim to leave people with clearer ways of coping and a better sense of their priorities.
Therapeutic approaches and online working
Sherrie uses client-centred work and cognitive behavioural techniques to guide sessions. Client-centred work focuses on the person's experience and how they make sense of events, which helps when people feel overwhelmed or low in confidence. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and offers practical exercises to try between sessions, useful for anxiety and mood concerns.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the treatment process. The therapist will explore what feels most helpful and adjust methods based on the person's goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where choices about focus and tasks are agreed together.
The biography notes remote and telephone counselling are offered, so check the current session options before booking. Online or telephone sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or medical appointments. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remote sessions avoid travel time so they can be scheduled during breaks or between commitments. Registered or accredited professionals can work this way to make therapy more practical for day-to-day life.
