About Sherrine
Sherrine Barrowes is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 10 years of professional experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, family issues, trauma and abuse, and problems with intimacy and depression. She also focuses on abandonment and attachment issues, communication problems, codependency and life changes.
Sherrine treats people as the experts in their own lives. She uses practical conversations to identify what is getting in the way of everyday functioning. Sessions look at patterns in relationships and at coping skills that can reduce overwhelm and improve steadiness in day-to-day life.
Her practice draws on a mix of approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy. That blend helps people notice thoughts and feelings, test out different responses, and repair stuck relationship patterns. Work may include behaviour experiments, focus on values, and attention to early attachment dynamics.
Sherrine has worked for a decade with people facing life transitions, relationship rupture, and the aftermath of abuse. She pays attention to how family of origin issues and blended family dynamics affect current behaviour. Practical problem solving and clearer communication skills are often part of the work.
Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. The first step is a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling a first session through the online booking flow.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and decide what matters most to them, then take small steps toward those values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting thinking and behaviour patterns that maintain anxiety or low mood, and on practising different responses to change day-to-day outcomes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship experiences shape current intimacy and trust, and helps people form healthier ways of relating.Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist discusses your goals, explains options, and together you try methods that feel useful. Over a few sessions the practical fit of each approach becomes clearer and the work is adjusted to what actually helps.
Please confirm the supported session formats before booking, as this biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around study, work and busy schedules. They can allow shorter check-ins, avoid travel time, and suit people who prefer not to commute for appointments. Registered or accredited professionals often use these formats to help clients manage stress, relationships and life changes while keeping therapy practical and accessible.
