Kerrie McCabe, BACP

Kerrie McCabe is a counsellor who draws on six years' experience to support people through difficult life moments. She works in a warm, approachable way and aims to make sessions feel like a safe, non-judgemental space where someone can speak honestly. Kerrie uses a mix of talking and practical strategies to help people better understand themselves and cope day to day.

Kerrie combines person-centred work with cognitive behavioural ideas to tailor sessions to each person's needs. That means offers start by listening to what matters most, then looking at thoughts and everyday habits that get in the way. She helps clients learn new ways of responding to stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship strain.

The counsellor also uses elements from acceptance and commitment approaches and techniques that focus on emotion regulation when helpful. Sessions can cover practical skills for sleeping, managing anger, or navigating life changes alongside exploring deeper issues such as trauma, grief, intimacy concerns and long-term conditions. Kerrie mentions using humour where it feels right to ease connection.

Kerrie supports people facing a wide range of concerns including addictions, self-esteem, parenting pressure, career questions, ADHD and compassion fatigue. She works with issues connected to identity and sexuality such as LGBT matters and kink-aware topics when relevant to the person.

Working in the United Kingdom, Kerrie is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Prospective clients are asked to use the site's Start Therapy process to begin and to complete the short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

Approaches that shape online work and progress

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then to focus on small, values-based steps forward. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns such as worry or poor sleep. Client-Centred Therapy places listening and a trusting therapeutic relationship at the heart of change, offering space to explore issues at a comfortable pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen first, then collaborate with the person to choose which methods to try. That decision is guided by the client's goals, day-to-day needs and what feels most helpful during early sessions.

Confirm current session options before booking, as the biography does not specify formats here. Online sessions can make therapy fit into busy lives by reducing travel and allowing appointments around work or caring commitments. They also let people try shorter check-ins or focus sessions when practical, and they make it easier to continue therapy during life changes. Registered or accredited professionals will help adapt techniques such as CBT exercises, ACT values work and person-centred conversation to an online setting so the work can fit everyday routines.
