Sherrie Root offers support to people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or life changes. She helps with low self‑esteem, coping after loss, and the pressure that builds from family strains. Sessions are held remotely to fit into busy lives.

Sherrie uses a clear, person-centred way of working. She spends time listening and helping people make sense of what they are feeling. From there she introduces practical strategies and coping tools that match each person’s needs.

Background and approach

Her background uses a mix of approaches, including cognitive behavioural techniques and psychodynamic thinking. That means she looks at current thoughts and habits, and also considers how past experiences shape reactions today. This combination aims to build self‑awareness while offering hands‑on ways to cope.

Sherrie also draws on solution‑focused ideas to set small, achievable goals. These short-term steps support people in finding clearer ways forward and noticing change sooner. The pace is set by the person in the room.

She has three years of experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions are available in English and are offered by video, phone, live chat or text messaging for convenience.

How Sherrie’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the centre. The therapist listens openly and reflects what is said so people feel understood. This approach helps with loneliness, low self‑esteem and making sense of strong emotions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact. It uses practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and build new coping habits, which can help with anxiety and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the journey and will be decided together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then tailor sessions so methods fit the person rather than the other way around.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls work well for face‑to‑face conversation, phone sessions suit those who prefer not to be on camera, and live chat or messaging can be useful for quick check-ins or when time is limited. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments, while still working with registered or accredited professionals and therapists to make progress.
