About Kerrie

Kerrie McCabe is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with six years' experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression and life changes, and she lists blended family issues among her areas of focus. Her practice covers a wide range of concerns including relationships, parenting pressures, trauma, addiction and ADHD.

Kerrie uses person-centred ideas alongside cognitive behavioural techniques in sessions. That means conversations focus on what matters to the client, while also trying out practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. Sessions are conversational and straightforward; the emphasis is on clarity and small, usable steps.

She helps people talk through relationship strain, intimacy worries, and the practical stresses of merging households. For someone navigating new routines, loyalties or co-parenting tensions, Kerrie offers ways to manage emotions and communicate more clearly. She also supports people dealing with grief, burnout and career-related stress.

Kerrie pays attention to attachment and present coping strategies. She will look at how past experiences shape current reactions and suggest skills from ACT and DBT when they fit the situation. Humour is used when appropriate to ease difficult conversations and to help clients feel more at ease.

Clients learn short practices for managing sleep, anxiety and anger, and plan concrete steps for change. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and session costs vary with location.

How therapy approaches work in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that reflect their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress and when life changes feel overwhelming. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behaviour and trying simple experiments to shift those patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, low mood and sleep difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connections affect current relationships and can help people who struggle with trust, closeness or repeated conflict.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then suggest practices and techniques to try. That choice is collaborative and may change as progress is made or as new concerns appear.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around school runs, work breaks or other daily commitments. It also allows for shorter check-ins when needed, or sessions without being on camera if that helps a person engage. Registered or accredited professionals can explain which formats they offer and help tailor appointments to practical needs.
