She has particular experience with issues such as coping with life changes, intimacy-related concerns and depression, and she also supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment issues, codependency, communication problems and the ripple effects of family-of-origin dynamics.

Her approach aims to create a supportive and collaborative space where practical tools and personal insight come together. Whether someone is facing difficulties with blended family dynamics, separation, infidelity or questions about life purpose and fatherhood roles, Sherrine offers steady guidance and tailored strategies to help move forward. She is open to working with international clients and provides therapy in English.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Sherrine draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy, and often integrates elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to suit each person's needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that reflect their values - it is useful for stress, anxiety and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns, helping with abandonment, intimacy-related issues and relationship difficulties. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical strategies to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, which can be effective for anxiety, depression and coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the work and Sherrine takes a collaborative stance - she and the client will explore goals, preferences and practical needs to determine the best fit. This process allows adjustments over time so therapy stays aligned with what is most helpful.

Online therapy with Sherrine is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access support from home or while travelling, and allow registered professionals and therapists to tailor session formats to each person’s lifestyle and needs.
