About Kerrie

Kerrie McCabe is a BACP-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with six years' experience. She works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, self-esteem, depression, relationship and family matters, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy issues, sleep problems, parenting, anger, bipolar, ADHD and compassion fatigue.

Kerrie blends person-centred work with cognitive behavioural techniques to suit each person's needs. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps alongside listening. She aims to help people notice patterns, try different ways of coping, and make choices that fit their life.

Her approach is conversational and direct. Kerrie encourages honest talk about painful feelings such as guilt and shame, as well as about practical problems like sleep, parenting or work stress. She uses humour where it helps people feel less stuck and more able to reflect.

People can expect to explore how past attachments and current thoughts affect feelings and behaviours. That might mean identifying unhelpful thinking, trying small experiments between sessions, and practising new ways of relating to oneself and others. The work can include grounding and emotion regulation skills when needed.

Kerrie treats each person as an individual and adjusts the balance of practical techniques and open listening. She will work with a client's goals and pace, helping them build tools for coping and clearer decision-making. To begin, people use the site matching questionnaire and book a first session.

How her approaches translate to online work

Kerrie integrates person-centred (client-centred) work with cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). Client-centred work means the therapist listens without judgement and mirrors what is said to help people feel understood and notice their own thoughts. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying practical steps or experiments to change patterns that maintain anxiety, low mood or shame.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapy process. Kerrie will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs with each person and agree together which methods to use and how to pace the work. That collaborative choice can change over time as needs shift.

The original biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel. Some people prefer a shorter audio check-in rather than video when they need less screen time. Others value being able to schedule sessions outside commuting hours. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, breathing and grounding practices to work over remote appointments, and will help plan tasks to try between sessions.
