About Kerrie

Kerrie McCabe is a BACP counsellor who has worked in the field for six years. She offers a calm, down-to-earth presence and aims to make therapy straightforward and approachable. Kerrie focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, sleep problems and many life changes. Her manner is warm and sometimes gently humorous to help people feel at ease.

Kerrie blends client-centred work with cognitive behavioural ideas to shape sessions around each person. That means she listens first, then introduces practical ways to notice thoughts and try small changes. Sessions are collaborative - goals are set together and revised as needed.

People come to Kerrie with a wide range of concerns including depression, relationship worries, addictions, grief, trauma, parenting strain and workplace stress. She also works with issues such as ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, body image and intimacy-related difficulties. Sleep and rest difficulties are included among the areas she supports.

Her style is straightforward and compassionate. Kerrie aims to help people develop coping tools, increase self-understanding and find better ways to manage day-to-day life. She encourages short, achievable steps and practical exercises when they suit the person’s goals.

Kerrie works from a pragmatic, human approach rather than jargon. People who want a therapist who listens, offers clear feedback and helps set simple tasks may find her approach helpful.

How these approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to actions that reflect their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and life transitions. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a non-judgemental, listening approach where the person sets the pace and the counsellor reflects and clarifies to build understanding. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, offers practical techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try behavioural experiments to test new ways of coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor works collaboratively to choose methods that suit the person’s goals and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. That choice is discussed together rather than imposed.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the available formats before booking. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use quieter surroundings, avoid camera use on some days, or practise techniques between sessions in day-to-day life. Registered or accredited professionals can help decide which session rhythm and style will best support your needs.
