About Sherrine
Sherrine Barrowes is a UK-based counsellor with ten years' experience. She combines body-focused awareness with practical talking therapy to help people manage stress, anxiety and depression. She draws on the person's strengths and respects their own view of their story.
She uses somatic ideas alongside approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy. That mix helps when emotions feel stuck in the body, when old relationship patterns repeat, or when someone is trying to make sense of trauma.
Background and approach
Sherrine works in a straightforward way. She offers a calm presence and practical tools to try between sessions. Clients often come for relationship or family issues, intimacy concerns, or to cope with major life changes.
She also supports people facing problems like abandonment fears, communication breakdowns, infidelity and the fallout from separation. Sessions are aimed at making daily life feel more manageable and connected. Sherrine holds registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, abbreviated as BACP.
Her practice is based in the United Kingdom and she conducts work in English. Over a decade of practice has included a variety of therapy settings and people with different difficulties. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth.
She helps clients notice how feelings show up in their bodies and links that awareness to new ways of responding. The goal is clearer choices and steadier living rather than quick fixes.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online therapy
Somatic-informed work helps people notice how stress and emotion appear in the body. This can include simple breath or grounding exercises and paying attention to physical sensations to loosen stuck patterns. It is useful for trauma, anxiety and when emotions feel overwhelming.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches practical ways to accept difficult feelings while acting on values that matter. It helps people move toward a more meaningful life even when strong emotions are present. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns from early relationships and how they shape current connection and trust; it supports people who want different ways of relating.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and choose ways of working with the client collaboratively. Sessions can be adjusted to focus more on physical awareness, values-based action, or relationship patterns as needs emerge.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel, and to practise tools between sessions. Registered or accredited professionals can use these formats to guide exercises, offer feedback, and check progress while respecting each person's pace.
