About Sherrie
Sherrie Root is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with three years of practice in the United Kingdom. She supports people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and major life changes. She also helps with family-related concerns and a range of other issues that can make daily life harder.
Her way of working focuses on helping people notice thoughts and habits that make problems worse. Sessions are paced to the person’s needs, so conversations can be short and direct or more reflective. She uses practical skills and talking therapy to help people manage anxiety, process loss, and build steadier routines.
Sherrie mixes client-centred listening with structured techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and other approaches. That means she listens for personal experience and also suggests exercises or small experiments to try between meetings. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas when exploring patterns from earlier life that still affect feelings now.
She makes time for clear problem-solving, using solution-focused steps when someone wants faster changes. She will help set small goals, track what works, and adapt plans if something doesn’t fit. This approach is practical and task-orientated while still allowing space to reflect.
Sessions are offered remotely and by telephone to fit into busy lives. Before booking, readers should check the current session options and scheduling details shown on the profile.
How her approaches work for remote counselling
Sherrie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioural experiments. CBT often involves simple exercises, a focus on current problems, and tracking what changes when different responses are used.She also practises client-centred therapy, which gives space for the person to lead the conversation while the counsellor reflects and clarifies. This approach can help people feel heard and gradually make sense of feelings that are hard to name.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs in the first meetings, and together they will decide whether a CBT focus, more reflective client-centred work, or a mix suits best. The plan can change as progress is reviewed.
The biography states she offers remote and telephone counselling, so check the current session options before booking. Remote sessions can make it easier to fit meetings around work, childcare and travel. Telephone sessions can be a shorter check-in when video is not needed or when lower bandwidth is helpful. Confirm the exact formats and scheduling details on her profile before arranging a first appointment.
