About Sherrine

Sherrine Barrowes is a counsellor who draws on several practical approaches to help people facing stress, anxiety and relationship strain. She brings ten years of experience and works with individuals who want clearer communication, better emotional balance, and more rewarding connections.

Background and approach

She believes people know their own story and have strengths to build on. Sessions focus on small, manageable steps that fit into daily life.

Sherrine talks through what matters most and helps people try new ways of coping and relating. Her background includes work with trauma and abuse, family problems, and issues tied to intimacy and separation.

She also supports people dealing with depression, life changes and challenges around attachment and abandonment. The work often covers communication problems, infidelity, blended family questions and fatherhood issues.

Sherrine uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioural techniques in session. These methods inform practical tools for handling difficult thoughts, building emotional awareness and improving interactions with others.

Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged across the United Kingdom and internationally. She holds BACP registration, and draws on a decade of experience to meet people where they are and help map a way forward.

Approaches to relationships and emotional balance online

Sherrine draws on the Gottman Method to look at patterns in relationships and practical ways to improve communication and emotional connection. That approach focuses on everyday interactions and skills couples can practice to reduce conflict and boost closeness.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose values-led actions rather than getting stuck. Attachment-based ideas are used to understand how early relationship patterns show up now and to build more supported ways of relating.

Choosing the right way of working is part of the process. Sherrine discusses goals and preferences with each person and together they decide which approach or combination feels most helpful. This collaborative process means methods are tailored to the individual rather than imposed.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues, phone works well for lower bandwidth or shorter check-ins, and messaging suits people who prefer written reflection or need check-ins between calls. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between appointments.
