About Sherrine
Sherrine Barrowes uses an existential approach to help people find meaning in difficult moments. She combines that perspective with practical therapies to help with stress, anxiety, relationships and trauma. Sherrine works in a calm, straightforward way and encourages clients to name their values and aims.
She reminds people they bring strengths to the room and can change painful patterns over time. Over ten years of work in the United Kingdom have given her experience with family conflict, separation and blended family challenges.
Background and approach
She also supports people coping with loss, life direction and intimacy-related issues. Her practice addresses common sources of shame, guilt, abandonment and attachment struggles in plain language. Sessions draw on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and attachment-focused ideas.
That blend pairs meaning-focused conversation with steps you can try between sessions. The aim is to connect thoughts and feelings to choices that match what matters to you. Sherrine is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and she works in English.
She accepts people living outside the UK and offers a range of online formats to suit different needs. She describes the first sessions as a chance to be heard and to set small, practical goals. From there she adapts the pace and tools to each person’s concerns and daily life.
The tone in sessions is respectful and direct. Sherrine focuses on clear steps and steady support so people can feel more able to manage change and rebuild connection.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Existential therapy invites people to talk about what matters most and how they want to live. In online sessions this means exploring values, choices and meaning in plain terms so decisions feel clearer and less overwhelming.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. It uses exercises and small behavioural experiments that work well over video or messaging to build more usable habits and flexible coping.
Attachment-based ideas focus on patterns in close relationships and how early experiences shape current trust and connection. Online dialogue and targeted exercises can help identify those patterns and try new ways of relating in everyday life.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to pick methods that suit the client's goals and preferences, adjusting pace and tools as understanding grows.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful when visual cues and longer conversations matter. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat or messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, shorter reflections and ongoing support across the week.
