About Kerrie

Kerrie McCabe is a BACP-registered counsellor with six years' experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, addictions and life transitions, and she lists life purpose among her areas of focus.

She uses a mix of client-centred methods and cognitive behavioural techniques in sessions. That means conversations are guided by what matters to the person, while also looking at practical steps and patterns that keep problems going. Kerrie encourages straightforward discussion about current problems and coping strategies.

Sessions often cover practical tools for managing anxiety, sleep, anger and mood, alongside exploring relationship and intimacy concerns. She also supports people dealing with grief, trauma, parenting strain, caring responsibilities, long-term health issues and work changes. ADHD, bipolar and compassion fatigue are included among areas she addresses.

Kerrie describes her practice as collaborative and conversational, using humour when it fits. She helps clients notice unhelpful thoughts and test different ways of responding, alongside building clearer values and goals for direction and purpose.

Her background blends client-led listening with structured approaches such as CBT, ACT and DBT techniques. People who prefer a mix of practical strategies and personal reflection may find this approach useful. To begin, users complete the platform questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment via the online booking flow.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps towards those values. It focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and can be useful for anxiety, low mood and questions about direction. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical experiments to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, sleep difficulties, mood and managing stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kerrie will discuss which methods suit the individual's goals, concerns and preferences. That discussion is collaborative and may shift as things change, with techniques chosen to match what the person wants to get from sessions.

The biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also allow focusing on skills work between meetings and keeping momentum after a change in work or health. Registered or accredited professionals on the platform will explain the available formats and help arrange sessions that fit into everyday life.
