Sherrie Root, BACP

Sherrie Root is a counsellor who supports people when life feels overwhelming. She helps those coping with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and major life changes. Sherrie listens without judgment and makes space for people to speak at their own pace.

She describes a compassionate, patient style that focuses on understanding each person’s story. Sessions aim to build self-awareness so clients can see how past experiences shape present feelings and behaviour. That awareness is used to develop practical coping skills and strategies.

Sherrie combines approaches to suit each person. She draws on Client-Centred work to build a trusting relationship. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to spot unhelpful thinking and try small changes.

Psychodynamic ideas help when someone wants to explore deeper patterns from earlier life. Solution-Focused techniques are used to set clear, manageable goals and notice what is already working.

She has three years of experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions are offered in English and delivered remotely by telephone. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options to make sure they match their needs.

How Sherrie uses talking therapies online

Sherrie uses Client-Centred Therapy to make sure the session feels like a supportive space. That approach focuses on listening, empathy and helping someone find their own solutions, which can be useful for stress, isolation and low self-esteem.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, to help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try practical changes. CBT is often chosen for anxiety, coping with life changes and improving day-to-day thinking and behaviour.

Finding the right approach is something she does together with each person. The first sessions are a chance to agree goals, try a way of working and adjust methods based on what feels most helpful and realistic for the individual.

Her practice offers remote telephone counselling, which can make fitting therapy around work and family easier. Telephone sessions may also suit people who prefer not to use video or who need a shorter check-in during a busy day. Before booking, confirm the current session options so you know what to expect and can choose what fits your routine.
