About Sherrine
Sherrine Barrowes is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 10 years of professional experience. She works with people who struggle with stress, anxiety, relationship and family problems, and those affected by trauma and abuse. Her approach is person-centred and practical, aimed at helping people find clearer ways to cope and make choices that feel more manageable.
Sherrine starts by listening to how someone describes their situation and what matters most to them. She uses familiar methods from cognitive behavioural therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to help people notice patterns, test small changes, and build skills for daily life. Attachment-based ideas are drawn in when relationships and early family experiences shape current struggles.
Sessions focus on concrete steps rather than jargon. People can expect conversations about boundaries, communication, and handling strong emotions. She also works through issues such as abandonment, codependency, infidelity, and problems linked to family of origin and blended family dynamics.
Sherrine draws on dialectical behaviour therapy skills when emotions feel overwhelming, and client-centred techniques to keep the person’s priorities central. She talks through coping strategies for life changes, parenting stresses such as fatherhood concerns, and the practical side of separating or divorcing.
Her style is straightforward and respectful. She asks about goals, suggests clear exercises to try between sessions, and reviews what helps as therapy progresses.
How sessions work
How therapy approaches work in online sessions
Sherrine uses acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to help people notice unhelpful thought patterns and decide what matters to them. ACT often includes simple exercises that help people act on their values despite difficult feelings. Attachment-based therapy is used when past family relationships shape current worries about intimacy and trust; it looks at how early patterns repeat and what might change now.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals and preferences, and together they will choose which approaches to try. That collaborative process means methods can be adjusted as sessions continue until a good fit emerges.
Please confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list formats. Online work can make fitting therapy into daily life easier by removing travel time and letting people schedule appointments around work or caregiving. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when weeks are busy, or telephone options when video would be difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can explain practical arrangements and help tailor session length and timing to what fits into everyday routines.
