About Sherrie
Sherrie Root is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years' experience. She works with people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and big life changes. She also supports those dealing with family strain, communication problems and feelings of guilt and shame.
She prefers a conversational style where clients set the pace. Sessions begin with what matters most now - a worry, a loss, or something from the past that keeps coming up. Sherrie listens for patterns in thinking and behaviour, then helps people notice small, practical steps they can try between sessions.
Her work draws on client-centred ideas to keep the person central, cognitive behavioural tools to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, and psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences shape the present. Solution-focused techniques are used to identify realistic next steps and build confidence in day-to-day coping.
Sherrie offers remote and telephone counselling that aim to fit around work and family life. She invites people to take things at their own pace and to explore difficult feelings without pressure. Sessions focus on developing clearer self-awareness and practical coping skills rather than quick fixes.
People come to her to talk through grief, manage stress, understand relationship patterns, and work through guilt or shame linked to past actions or identity. She encourages small experiments and steady change so people can navigate the challenges they face.
How Sherrie uses therapy online and by phone
Sherrie draws on client-centred counselling to keep the conversation focused on what matters to the person. This approach means sessions start from the client's concerns and move at their pace, useful for dealing with shame, grief or stress.She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy to help identify unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of responding. CBT techniques can support clearer thinking and small behavioural changes that reduce worry and improve day-to-day coping.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She aims to agree with each person which methods to try based on their goals, preferences and the issues they bring. That shared decision-making allows adjustments as needs change over time.
Her practice offers remote and telephone counselling, which can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caring duties or medical appointments. Telephone sessions can be useful when someone prefers not to be on camera, and remote sessions can cut travel time and help keep therapy part of a busy week. Confirm the current session options before booking so they match your routine.
