Sherrie Root

Sherrie Root is a BACP counsellor who helps people when life feels overwhelming. She supports those struggling with stress, anxiety, grief, low self‑esteem and major life changes. Her approach is warm and patient, aiming to make sessions a calm place to talk and reflect.

She offers time to process difficult experiences at a pace that suits each person. Conversations focus on understanding how past events shape current feelings and behaviours. This helps build self‑awareness and clearer ways of coping.

Sherrie uses a mix of approaches tailored to the person in front of her. She draws on client‑centred work to listen without judgement and solution‑focused techniques to set small, practical goals. Cognitive behavioural ideas and psychodynamic thinking are introduced when they can help explain patterns or change unhelpful thoughts.

Sessions include practical tools and coping strategies to manage anxiety, tough decisions, relationship strain and body image concerns. She also supports people facing illness, caregiver stress, bereavement and feelings of isolation.

Her style is gentle and collaborative. She encourages exploration of emotions while helping clients try new ways of responding. The aim is for people to leave feeling clearer about next steps and stronger in handling future challenges.

How Sherrie’s approaches work for online counselling

Sherrie uses client‑centred work to give people space to be heard without judgement. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting feelings back and supporting self‑exploration, which can help when you’re dealing with grief, loneliness or low self‑esteem.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. CBT provides practical techniques for managing anxiety, stress and body‑image worries, such as thought records and behavioural experiments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sherrie will discuss what feels most useful and adapt methods to match personal goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can change as needs evolve.
