About Sherrie
Sherrie Root is a counsellor who supports people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, loss or low self-esteem. She welcomes clients who are struggling with life changes, loneliness or the emotional fallout of illness and caregiving. Sessions are offered remotely to fit around daily life.
Her style is steady and patient. She aims to create a calm space where people can talk at their own pace without pressure. Compassion and respect guide the work so each person can explore what matters to them.
Background and approach
Sherrie uses practical talking approaches to help people understand their feelings. She helps clients notice how past experiences shape present behaviour and find small, useful ways to cope. That might include learning new skills to manage worry or working through emotions after a loss.
Over time she supports people to build self-awareness and confidence. The aim is to develop coping tools that can be used when life feels difficult. Sessions focus on achievable steps and clearer thinking rather than quick fixes.
Sherrie holds BACP, which is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has three years of experience working with these concerns and offers appointments by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions that suit them.
Approaches online and what they offer
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and making space for a person's experience. It helps people who need time to understand feelings and build self-trust through a supportive relationship.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together. It teaches practical strategies to reduce worry and manage unhelpful thinking, which can be useful for anxiety and stress.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together decide which way of working to try first. That choice can change as the work progresses and needs shift.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video suits deeper conversations when face-to-face contact matters. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a shorter break. Chat or messaging can be useful for regular check-ins or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep continuity when schedules change.
