About Kerrie

Kerrie McCabe is a counsellor who combines person-centred work with cognitive tools to help people facing emotional and life challenges. She is a BACP professional with six years of practice in the United Kingdom. Kerrie aims to make sessions warm and approachable, and she encourages open, honest conversation in a non-judgemental way.

Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She listens first, then helps people make sense of feelings and patterns. Sessions often include practical techniques to manage worry, low mood, stress and unhelpful thoughts. Kerrie also focuses on building coping skills for issues such as addiction, grief, relationship strain and work stress.

She pays attention to attachment and how early relationships shape current difficulties. That perspective can help when intimacy, abandonment or trust are causing pain. Kerrie also draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to support people who want to make values-based changes in their life.

Expect a conversational and human approach. Kerrie uses empathy and, when suitable, gentle humour to ease difficult topics. She works at the client’s pace and supports them to try out new ways of responding to old problems.

Practical matters are kept simple. Sessions are in English and take place in the United Kingdom. People who need therapy from outside the UK are asked to check local options, because international work is not offered.

Therapeutic approaches and online working together

Kerrie uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then move towards what matters to them. That approach can help with anxiety, depression and life changes.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current reactions and patterns. This can be useful when intimacy, trust or abandonment issues are affecting everyday life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client will discuss needs, goals and preferences and pick methods that feel like a good fit. Kerrie adapts what she does over time as the person changes and learns.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online counselling can make attending sessions easier around work and family life, and it often reduces travel time. Some formats are better for shorter check-ins while others suit longer therapy conversations, so discussing practical arrangements helps fit therapy into everyday routines.
