About Sherrine

Sherrine Barrowes is a counsellor who uses trauma-focused and evidence-based approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety and the effects of abuse. She works with adults who are trying to make sense of painful relationships and family patterns. Sherrine holds BACP accreditation and brings ten years of practice in the United Kingdom.

She believes people know their own story and that therapy should build on existing strengths. In sessions she listens calmly and helps people notice what matters to them.

Background and approach

The aim is practical change rather than jargon - clearer communication, steadier mood, or fewer overwhelming reactions. Sherrine draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people identify values and take small steps that feel meaningful. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques are introduced when helpful to spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviours. Sessions are conversational and paced to each person. Sherrine supports work on topics such as intimacy concerns, codependency, grief around separation, shame and guilt, and questions of life purpose.

She also helps people navigate blended family issues, fatherhood concerns and communication breakdowns. Therapy can be offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Those interested complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.

The focus is on steady, practical progress that fits each person’s life.

Therapeutic approaches for online work

Sherrine commonly uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people process distressing experiences and reduce the ways those memories affect daily life. This approach looks gently at difficult memories and supports practical coping skills to manage strong reactions.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify what matters to them and take small committed steps even when feelings are hard. Attachment-Based Therapy features in her work too, focusing on how early relationship patterns shape current connections and helping people try new ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs and preferences. Plans are reviewed as therapy progresses so the focus can shift if something else seems more helpful.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited, and messaging suits shorter check-ins or work between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family life and travel.
