Kerrie McCabe, BACP

Kerrie McCabe is a BACP counsellor who has practised for six years in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship strain. Kerrie also supports those dealing with addiction, grief, parenting pressures and career concerns. Her practice blends person-centred work with cognitive behavioural approaches, so sessions focus on what matters to each person. She aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space where people can talk honestly and at their own pace. Kerrie uses empathy alongside practical strategies to help people develop coping skills and clearer ways of thinking. Kerrie pays attention to attachment issues and trauma, and she incorporates mindful exercises and acceptance-based ideas when helpful. She also draws on elements of dialectical behaviour therapy to teach emotional regulation and distress tolerance skills. The mix is tailored to the client’s needs rather than a fixed protocol. She is comfortable discussing intimacy-related concerns, LGBT matters, and complex presentations such as bipolar and co-morbidity. Kerrie also supports people with body image issues, chronic illness and caregiving strain, and those exploring kink and alternative sexual culture. Sessions aim to be straightforward and practical. Expect a collaborative process where Kerrie listens, reflects, and offers tools you can try between meetings. Humour is used where it helps, and progress is paced to suit each person. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability. Kerrie works in English in the United Kingdom and does not accept international clients.

Therapeutic approaches and online working

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to values-based action. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is about spotting patterns of thinking that keep problems going and trying practical experiments to change them; it often helps with depression, anxiety and sleep issues. Attachment-Based ideas look at how early relationship experiences shape current patterns and help people build more helpful ways of relating. Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made. Please confirm which session options are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not list formats. Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people work with a therapist in the United Kingdom without changing their routine. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often combine listening, practical exercises and homework tasks that translate well to remote sessions.
