About Sherrie

Sherrie Root works on stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem and coping with life changes using an integrative counselling approach. She offers telephone sessions and remote support and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has three years' experience in counselling.

Sherrie helps people who feel overwhelmed, worried or lonely. She supports those managing sadness, grief, low mood and the effects of childhood experiences. She also works with people facing ill health, major life transitions and challenges to self-worth.

Her way of working draws on Client-Centred ideas and psychodynamic thinking, alongside Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and solution-focused techniques. Sessions focus on understanding how past experiences affect current feelings and on learning practical coping tools. Conversations aim to uncover patterns and build everyday strategies for managing stress and anxiety.

Sherrie offers a steady, patient approach and helps clients work at their own pace. She uses discussion and specific exercises to build self-awareness and confidence. Over time clients can practise new ways of thinking and behaving between sessions.

She provides remote and telephone counselling designed to fit into busy lives. People who want to begin are invited to use the site matching process to schedule a first session and discuss how counselling might help in their particular situation.

Therapeutic approaches and how remote counselling can work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's perspective, helping them feel heard and noticed. It is useful for people who want to explore feelings, build self-awareness and make sense of their reactions to life events.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. It is often used for anxiety, stress and low mood and includes tools people can use between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sherrie will discuss goals and preferences and try different methods to see what helps most, adjusting the focus as needs change in a collaborative way.

Her biography notes she provides remote and telephone counselling, so check the current session options before booking to confirm what is offered. Remote sessions can help fit counselling into busy days, reduce travel time and make it easier to have shorter check-ins when needed. Telephone sessions can be useful when video is not convenient or when a quieter, audio-only conversation suits someone's routine.
