Sherrie Root
Calm practical support for stress and life change
About Sherrie
Sherrie Root helps people who feel overwhelmed, stressed, anxious or low. She supports those coping with grief, self-esteem struggles and major life changes. Her approach aims to make difficult feelings easier to manage.
Sherrie practises as a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She works remotely using telephone and online sessions so conversations can fit around a busy life. Sessions are paced to each person, with no pressure to move faster than feels right.
Background and approach
Her style is calm and patient. She listens without judgement and offers practical ways to cope. That can mean noticing how past experiences shape present reactions and trying out small changes that reduce stress.
Sherrie uses a mix of talking approaches to suit each person. Sometimes the focus is on understanding patterns that began in childhood. Other times the work looks at practical skills to manage anxiety or to rebuild confidence after loss.
People bring many different concerns, including relationship problems, caregiving strain, issues around body image or identity, and the long-term effects of illness. Sherrie helps clients explore these topics and develop tools they can use after sessions end. Her aim is to help people build self-awareness and resilience.
Over time clients often find they respond to challenges with more choice and less overwhelm. Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps towards the goals each person sets.

How therapy methods meet you online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person rather than directing them. It helps people feel heard and often reduces shame, isolation and low self-worth by creating space to reflect. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It offers practical techniques to test unhelpful thoughts and to build new coping habits, which can be useful for anxiety, stress and low mood. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then try approaches together to see what helps. This is a collaborative process and plans are adjusted if something does not fit. Online therapy makes regular sessions easier to attend. Video calls let people use visual cues and more personal interaction. Phone sessions suit those who prefer not to be on camera or who need a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging provide a written way to reflect and can fit into a busy day without scheduling a full call. These formats increase flexibility and help people keep therapy going alongside family, work or health demands. Registered professionals and therapists can use the mix of approaches above when working remotely to provide meaningful, practical support.| Session length | Typically 50 minutes |
