About Sherrie
Sherrie Root offers practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or life changes. She helps with low self-esteem, coping after loss, and the day-to-day strain of difficult circumstances. Sessions are remote and designed to fit into busy lives.
Sherrie works in a calm, patient way. She gives people time to talk at their own pace and listens without judgement. The aim is to help clients discover their own resilience and strengths rather than telling them what to do.
How Sherrie works
Her approach draws on talking therapies that encourage self-awareness. Together with clients she looks at how past experiences shape current feelings and behaviours. This makes it easier to understand why certain worries or reactions keep happening.
Sherrie also focuses on practical tools. Clients practise coping strategies and skills they can use between sessions. This helps them manage anxiety, navigate relationship difficulties, and cope with major life transitions.
She offers sessions by phone or video, and also supports people through live chat or text-based messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to keep therapy going when life is busy or unpredictable. With three years of counselling experience and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP, Sherrie brings a steady, empathetic presence.
Her work is aimed at helping people make small, sustainable changes and feel more in control of daily life.

How Sherrie uses talking therapies online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person in front of the counsellor. The counsellor offers empathy and acceptance so people can explore their feelings and find their own solutions. This approach helps with low self-esteem, grief and feeling overwhelmed.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful thinking and reduce anxiety or depressive patterns. CBT is useful for stress, anxiety and tackling repetitive negative thoughts.
Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Sherrie will discuss options and agree a plan together based on goals and what feels helpful. That collaborative approach means therapy can be adjusted as needs change over time.
Online sessions offer flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let people speak face to face, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging allow shorter check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving or health appointments while keeping continuity of care.
