Sherrie Root, BACP

Sherrie Root is an integrative counsellor who supports people when life feels overwhelming, stressful, sad, worried or lonely. She works with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, grief and loss, childhood trauma, ill health and low self-esteem, offering a calm space to process difficult experiences at a pace that suits each person.

Sherrie’s remote telephone counselling is designed to fit into busy lives, making it easier to access support without disrupting daily routines. Her sessions are framed as the client’s time and space to explore feelings and identity without judgement or pressure, with compassion, empathy, respect and patience central to her practice. This approach aims to help clients reconnect with their inner strength and build resilience in pursuit of their goals.

By encouraging self-awareness, Sherrie helps people understand how past events influence current thoughts, emotions and behaviour. Together clients learn practical coping tools and strategies within the therapeutic relationship to manage future challenges more confidently. She holds the BACP credential - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, the principal professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Sherrie uses a blend of evidence-informed approaches to tailor support to each person's needs. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the client’s own experience, with the therapist offering empathic, non-directive support that helps people explore feelings, build self-worth and navigate life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and provides practical techniques to reduce anxiety, manage low mood and change unhelpful patterns. Psychodynamic Therapy explores how past experiences and recurring patterns influence current relationships and emotional responses, offering insight into long-standing issues and attachment concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Sherrie works collaboratively with clients to identify what feels most helpful based on their goals, preferences and presenting concerns. As a BACP-registered counsellor, she draws on these methods to create a personalised plan rather than applying a single technique.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging offers flexibility for different schedules and needs. These formats make it easier to access consistent support from home or elsewhere, helping clients fit therapy into daily life while working toward meaningful change with a therapist.
