About Sherrine
Sherrine Barrowes is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with ten years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family problems, trauma and abuse, and difficulties with life changes and intimacy. Sessions also address areas such as depression and life purpose.
Sherrine starts from the idea that each person knows their story best. She uses that knowledge to help people notice patterns that get in the way. Conversations focus on what feels most urgent and practical next steps that a person can try between sessions.
Her background brings together several evidence-informed approaches. Sherrine draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and to test different behaviours. Attachment-based ideas guide conversations about closeness, separation and patterns from early relationships.
In sessions she works in a client-centred way, listening and reflecting so people can clarify what matters to them. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills may be used when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed. The mix of methods aims to be practical and straightforward rather than technical.
People who come to her often want help with communication problems, codependency, betrayal and family-of-origin issues. She also supports those wrestling with abandonment, attachment difficulties and the question of life purpose. The focus is on clear, manageable steps that relate to daily life.
How Sherrine uses therapies online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice worries and values, and then try small actions that reflect what matters to them. It is useful for anxiety, feeling stuck and decisions about life direction. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns of closeness and separation learned in earlier relationships and how they affect current communication and intimacy. It can help when trust, abandonment or fatherhood issues are part of the concern.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sherrine will discuss methods and agree on what to try first, adjusting plans as people see what helps. That collaborative process makes room for practical goals alongside emotional understanding.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find that working remotely helps them practise new ways of communicating in the environments where they live and work.
