About Kerrie

Kerrie McCabe is a BACP-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with six years of experience. She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, self-esteem, career questions and LGBT concerns. Kerrie also helps people facing grief, trauma, relationship and intimacy-related problems, parenting strain and sleep difficulties.

Her background blends Client-Centred (also called person-centred) work with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and she draws on other approaches where they suit the person. Sessions focus on what a client wants to change and practical steps to get there. Kerrie keeps language simple and uses everyday examples rather than clinical terms.

She aims to build a steady therapeutic relationship that lets people speak frankly about hard things. Humour is sometimes used to break tension and encourage connection when it feels right. The tone in sessions is direct and respectful rather than clinical or academic.

Kerrie supports people dealing with major life transitions - starting or changing work, coping after loss, or managing long-term conditions like chronic pain. She also works with neurodiverse needs such as autism and ADHD where these are part of someone’s presenting concerns.

Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time; costs vary with location. Kerrie does not take international clients. To begin, the client completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session via the platform.

How Kerrie uses talking therapies online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful patterns and choose actions that match their values. Kerrie may use ACT techniques when work, identity or life-change questions are causing avoidance or low motivation. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks down difficult thoughts and behaviours into manageable steps. CBT tools can help with sleep problems, anxiety, low mood and coping with pressure at work or university.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. Kerrie treats this as a collaborative process. She will discuss goals, try practical strategies, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. That means the approach can change as your needs become clearer.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around study and work, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people use quieter surroundings, join from another UK location, or avoid camera use if that makes sessions more comfortable. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors and therapists, commonly offer these flexible ways to work, and Kerrie will help you select what suits your day-to-day life.
