Kerrie McCabe, BACP

Kerrie McCabe is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has six years' experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression and life changes. Kerrie blends person-centred work with practical, evidence-informed tools to suit each person she meets.

She aims to make therapy straightforward and down to earth. Conversations are warm and non-judgemental, with room for honesty and the odd moment of humour when it helps. The focus is on understanding what matters to the client and finding steps that fit their life.

Kerrie uses a mixture of approaches including cognitive behavioural techniques and attachment-informed thinking to tackle difficulties such as low self-esteem, relationship concerns, addiction and grief. Sessions emphasise clearer thinking, coping skills and learning new ways to respond to old patterns.

She also works with people facing ADHD, caregiver stress, chronic illness, bereavement, ageing and geriatric issues, and intimacy-related concerns. The aim is to help clients build practical strategies for daily life and longer term goals.

Each session is shaped around the individual's goals and pace. Kerrie listens for what feels most important, then adapts the way she works so people can test ideas, practise new skills, and notice change between sessions.

How these approaches shape online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasises noticing thoughts and values-driven action; it helps people carry on with meaningful activities even when worries or mood are present. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and practising small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety or lift mood. Attachment-Based ideas look at how past relationships affect current connections and help people experiment with different ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kerrie will talk with clients about goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then shape sessions collaboratively. That way the methods used match the person's needs and pace rather than following a fixed plan.

The practical benefits of online or remote sessions should be checked with the therapist, since formats were not listed in the biography. Confirm current session options before booking. Many people find remote work helps fit therapy around busy lives, makes shorter check-ins easier, and removes travel time so sessions can be scheduled between other commitments. Therapists and registered or accredited professionals can discuss how best to structure appointments to suit your routine and aims.
