About Kerrie
Kerrie McCabe is a counsellor who combines human-centred care with practical thinking. She is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Kerrie aims to make sessions straightforward and approachable for people facing stress, anxiety, addiction or depression.
She keeps language simple and meets people where they are. Kerrie uses client-centred work alongside cognitive behavioural techniques to shape sessions around what each person needs. That means she encourages honest conversation, listens closely, and offers practical ways to manage feelings day to day.
Background and approach
She also draws on acceptance-based ideas and attachment perspectives when these fit a person’s goals. Her style is warm and down-to-earth. Kerrie says humour can help when it feels right, and she balances empathy with clear tools to try between sessions.
The tone is collaborative rather than directive, so people help set the pace and focus. Kerrie has six years of experience supporting people with concerns such as grief, trauma, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting strains, workplace stress, and identity issues including LGBT matters. She also works with people affected by long-term conditions, chronic pain and complex co-morbidity.
Sessions aim to help people understand patterns, build coping strategies, and make gradual changes that fit their lives. To start, a simple matching process and scheduling step helps connect someone to a suitable session rhythm.

How Kerrie’s Approaches Shape Online Work
Kerrie often blends client-centred work with cognitive behavioural approaches. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and responding to a person’s experience, helping them feel heard and respected while they consider change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviours link and offers practical steps to change habits and manage symptoms such as anxiety or low mood.She also uses elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT, which helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, and to act in ways that match their values. These approaches can be helpful for stress, grief, relationship concerns and coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is usually a shared task. Kerrie works collaboratively to decide what to try first, checks in about what helps, and adjusts the plan as therapy progresses. The aim is to match methods to a person’s goals and day-to-day life rather than applying a single fix.
Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not detailed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter or more frequent check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer speaking without being on camera or who need a quieter arrangement during a break from work.
