Kerrie McCabe , BACP

Kerrie McCabe is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with six years of experience. She holds BACP registration, which is recorded as BACP, and uses a relatable, down-to-earth style. Kerrie aims to make sessions feel approachable and easy to understand for people under stress or facing big life changes.

She blends Client-Centred Therapy with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to match support to each person’s needs and goals. That means conversations focus on what matters to the client and include practical steps to manage thoughts and behaviours. Kerrie also draws on elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based work where that fits.

Kerrie works with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, relationship and intimacy difficulties, parenting strain, and issues linked to identity such as LGBT matters. She also supports people managing chronic illness, trauma and abuse, bipolar, ADHD, codependency and related struggles.

Her approach is warm and collaborative. Sessions aim to help people understand themselves better, build coping strategies and make gradual changes. Kerrie values humour when it helps to ease tension and build connection.

Therapy is practical and paced to the individual. People can expect conversations that balance listening with concrete techniques for managing stress, sleeping problems, anger and other day-to-day challenges. The tone is non-judgemental and supportive throughout.

How Kerrie uses therapeutic approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed, and then focus on values-driven actions that matter to them. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which often helps with depression, insomnia and worry. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to relationship patterns and connection, helping people understand how early relationships shape current reactions and closeness issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kerrie will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as things progress, keeping the process collaborative and practical.

Online therapy with Kerrie can use video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help. Phone sessions suit people who prefer not to be on camera or need a lower-bandwidth option. Live chat and messaging work well for short check-ins, journalling between sessions or when fitting therapy into a busy day. These options make it easier to arrange regular support around work, caregiving or travel commitments.
