About Sherrine
Sherrine Barrowes works in a collaborative, person-centred way. She puts the client's experience first and helps people name what matters to them. She believes people bring strengths that can guide change and recovery.
Sherrine has 10 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and practises as a BACP counsellor. She supports people who are coping with stress and anxiety, relationship strains, family problems, trauma and abuse, and low mood.
Background and approach
Her approach is straightforward and calm, with an emphasis on practical steps. In sessions she helps people notice patterns that make life harder. That can mean looking at how attachment or past losses shape current relationships.
It can also mean learning skills to manage intense feelings, reduce avoidance, and improve communication. She draws on a mix of approaches, including acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-based work, cognitive behavioural techniques, and dialectical behaviour methods. These tools are used to suit each person's particular needs and goals rather than as rigid prescriptions.
People often come because they want help with divorce and separation, infidelity, blended family strains, or fatherhood issues. Others seek support for abandonment, dissociation, guilt, shame or finding life purpose. Sherrine aims to make sessions practical and focused on small, steady changes.
To begin, she invites people to describe the most pressing problem and what a better week would look like. That practical starting point helps shape ongoing work and keeps progress measurable.

How Sherrine works online
She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships affect current connection and trust. This kind of work can help with intimacy-related issues, communication problems and patterns that repeat in adult relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Sherrine works together with each person to decide which methods suit their goals, needs and preferences. That collaborative process means the plan can change as progress is made and new priorities emerge.
If you are considering online work, please confirm the available session formats before booking as this profile does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Registered or accredited professionals often find that remote sessions help people keep momentum between appointments and practise new skills in everyday settings.
