Berrington made her way into acting through an unconventional route. She studied Development Geography at Kings College in London, before landing a job in the House of Commons working for Labour MP Siobhain McDonagh. It was there that she had her acting "epiphany" and decided to audition at Guildhall, at which she played roles including Hamlet. During her final year there, she was snapped by leading acting agent Markham Froggatt and Irwin, who also represents Emma Watson. Children's Children is her professional debut and her portrayal of thoroughly dislikeable, self-centred mother and model Effie is both engaging and entertaining.
