About Kerrie

Kerrie McCabe is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with six years' experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, depression and related life challenges, and lists social anxiety and phobia among her focus areas.

Kerrie uses a mix of person-centred approaches and cognitive behavioural techniques. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear conversations rather than jargon. She aims to help people understand patterns of thinking and behaviour that make daily life harder.

Her sessions tend to be collaborative and paced to each person. Kerrie listens for what matters most and helps clients try small changes that feel manageable. She says humour can sometimes help lighten difficult topics when it feels right.

Working with Kerrie might include learning coping skills, trying new ways to respond to social situations, or developing clearer ways to plan and act on personal goals. She also addresses issues such as grief, sleep problems, relationship worries and career stress.

She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-informed ideas and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy strategies alongside CBT and person-centred ways of working. This mix lets her offer emotional support and concrete tools in the same session. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first meeting through the site.

How her approaches work for online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting pushed around by them and then choose actions that match their values; it can suit worries about social situations and life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thinking and behaviour into clear steps to practice, which is useful for anxiety, sleeping problems and mood shifts. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and can help with intimacy, boundaries and trust issues.

Figuring out the best approach is part of the work. Kerrie will invite the client to talk about goals, everyday practicalities and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and review progress as they go, adjusting techniques to fit what actually helps.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let therapists and clients practise skills in the settings where problems arise, while keeping appointments to a practical length that fits day-to-day life.
