About Kerrie

Kerrie McCabe is a BACP counsellor with six years of practice in the United Kingdom. She offers a warm, down-to-earth presence and aims to create a non-judgemental space where people can talk about what’s worrying them. Kerrie works collaboratively with clients to understand their priorities and to set practical goals that fit everyday life.

She blends client-centred principles with cognitive behavioural techniques to personalise sessions. That combination helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try small changes between meetings. Kerrie listens for what matters most to each person and adapts her approach as needs change.

Areas she often supports include stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, self-esteem and relationship concerns. She also works with issues such as grief, trauma, parenting strain, sleep difficulties, ADHD and compassion fatigue. Additional focuses listed include body image, chronic illness and carer stress among others.

Kerrie describes herself as approachable and compassionate, and she uses humour when it feels helpful. Sessions are collaborative - she aims to help people build coping strategies and clearer ways to manage life changes. The emphasis is on practical steps and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

If someone is unsure where to start, Kerrie encourages a short conversation to clarify goals and match expectations. The first meetings are used to agree what to work on and how to track progress over time.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Kerrie uses client-centred work and cognitive behavioural ideas to shape sessions. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel understood and can find their own solutions; it suits someone who wants a supportive space to talk through difficult feelings. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and tests small experiments to change behaviour, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kerrie will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then adapt the methods she uses. That collaborative process means the plan can change as progress is made or new priorities emerge.

If you are thinking about online therapy, check the current session options before booking since the biography does not list formats. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a busy week, for example a shorter check-in during a lunch break or a session without needing to travel. They can make regular work on coping strategies and behavioural experiments more practical to sustain alongside everyday life.
