About Sherrie

Sherrie Root is a counsellor who supports people when life feels overwhelming. She helps with stress, anxiety, grief and loss, low self-esteem and coping with major life changes. Sherrie also works with issues linked to attachment, communication and isolation. She communicates in English and practises in the United Kingdom.

Her style is warm and patient. Sessions are described as a space to explore feelings at the client’s own pace. She emphasises compassion, empathy and respect while clients look for their own inner strength. The first steps often focus on understanding how past experiences shape current feelings and behaviour.

Sherrie uses Client-Centred Therapy alongside other approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Psychodynamic ideas. This mix means sessions can focus on listening and reflection, practical coping tools, or looking at patterns that repeat over time. Techniques are chosen to fit each person’s needs and goals.

She mentions telephone and remote counselling to fit into busy lives. Sessions aim to build self-awareness and confidence through coping strategies and skills learned together. Clients work on manageable steps to handle future challenges.

Sherrie holds BACP as a recorded credential and has three years of practice experience. People considering counselling are invited to take their time, ask questions, and start with what feels manageable.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Sherrie blends Client-Centred Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people online. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and allowing people to set the pace of work. It helps when someone needs a non-judgemental space to make sense of feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviours and teaches practical strategies to reduce anxiety or manage low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then choose ways of working that feel most helpful. This is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

The biography notes remote and telephone counselling as ways she fits sessions into life. If you want to use online options, confirm the current session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around family, work or treatment schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time while keeping therapeutic continuity.
