Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is used to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try new ways of coping. Sherin also uses elements of solution-focused work to identify small, achievable changes. Motivational Interviewing can help when someone feels stuck or unsure about making different choices.
Existential ideas are brought in to look at meaning, values and choices when life feels uncertain. Sessions are aimed at helping people manage practical problems and emotional strain. Sherin supports people dealing with family conflict, fertility and caregiver stress, relationship endings, body image and the emotional effects of illness.
She offers straightforward, down-to-earth conversations and collaborative plans. People who prefer a warm, non-judgemental approach and practical tools may find her style helpful. Sherin helps clients set clear goals and develops simple strategies to cope with day-to-day pressure and change.

Approaches you can use online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding the client and offering non-judgemental support to help them find their own solutions; it can be useful for building confidence and feeling heard. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical changes in behaviour and thinking to reduce anxiety and low mood. Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, realistic steps and what already works to move toward clearer goals and faster progress.Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then choose methods together. That collaborative process means the plan can change as progress is made or new priorities appear.
Online sessions can use video calls, phone conversations, live chat or text messaging to fit different situations. Video is useful for face-to-face style conversations, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging helps when someone prefers written reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and day-to-day life while keeping the focus on practical steps and emotional support.
