About Sherrie
Sherrie Root is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief and major life changes. She supports those feeling overwhelmed, lonely, sad or worried, and assists with low self-esteem and coping when life feels hard. Sherrie works in a calm, patient way so people can move at their own pace.
Her approach is gentle and collaborative. She offers time to talk through past experiences and current worries without pressure.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on understanding how past events shape feelings and behaviours today, and on building practical coping strategies. Sherrie draws on client-centred listening alongside cognitive behavioural ideas and psychodynamic thinking. That mix helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns, practise different responses, and understand deeper emotional themes.
She also uses solution-focused tools to set clear, achievable goals. Over three years she has worked with issues such as attachment concerns, body image, caregiver stress, divorce and separation, and the impact of illness including cancer. Other areas she supports include communication and control problems, guilt and shame, isolation, and relationship difficulties like infidelity and commitment questions.
Sessions are offered in English and delivered remotely by telephone. Sherrie asks people to move at a pace that feels safe and to focus on building small, practical steps that fit into everyday life. She is registered with the BACP, which is shown as BACP in her credentials.

How Sherrie works online
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try practical strategies to change them, which can reduce anxiety and improve coping with life changes.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The counsellor will collaborate with each person to decide what feels most useful. That means trying things out together and adjusting methods to fit the person's goals and preferences.
Sherrie offers remote telephone counselling sessions as stated in her biography; please check current session options before booking if you need other formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, shorten travel time and allow flexible scheduling. It can also let sessions be simpler when a quick check-in is helpful or when a quieter, less visual conversation suits someone better.
