About Sherrine
Sherrine Barrowes is a counsellor who uses practical, person-focused approaches to help people manage anxiety and stress. She brings a calm, straightforward manner to sessions and helps clients name problems and find workable steps forward. With ten years of professional experience in the United Kingdom, she has supported people coping with relationship strain, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, and depression.
She believes people are the experts in their own lives and that their strengths help guide change.
Background and approach
In sessions she listens closely and asks questions that help clarify what matters most. She then works with clients to try different tools and ways of thinking that fit their life. That might include looking at patterns in relationships, trying new ways to respond to difficult feelings, or practising small steps to reduce overwhelm.
Her approach draws on several well-known therapies and she tailors them to each person. Conversations are practical and paced to the individual. Sherrine aims to make sessions feel like focused time to sort through problems and rehearse new responses.
People who contact her are usually seeking relief from anxiety, help with major life changes, or clearer communication in relationships. She supports those concerns while also addressing issues such as attachment, codependency, divorce and separation, and questions about life purpose.
How online therapy and chosen approaches can help
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and decide what matters most. It focuses on small, value-driven actions so people can move forward even when worry or fear is present. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current bonds and communication; it can be useful for relationship strain, attachment concerns and intimacy-related issues. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to spot thought patterns that increase anxiety and to practise different ways of responding, which can reduce everyday overwhelm.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what has helped in the past. Together they will try methods that feel like a good fit and adjust as progress is reviewed, keeping the plan collaborative and flexible.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more accessible. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when internet or bandwidth is limited or when a shorter, focused check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer writing their thoughts or need ongoing, brief contact between sessions. These options help fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping the focus on practical change.
