About Tracie

Tracie McFerran is a practising counsellor who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety and low self-esteem. She works with parents managing the challenges of children with additional needs and supports people facing major life changes. She speaks plainly and aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable for worried clients.

She brings six years of experience to her work and draws on an integrated approach that honours the client's own knowledge of their life. Tracie uses Client-Centred Therapy to help people feel heard and understood, and she combines this with practical methods from cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness when helpful.

In sessions she focuses on strengths and small, achievable changes. Conversations often look at day-to-day coping, confidence-building, and ways to manage stressful moments. When relevant, she explores patterns from earlier life that affect present feelings and relationships.

Tracie also works with a broad range of concerns such as grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, anger, career questions, and neurodiversity topics including autism and ADHD. She describes issues in straightforward terms and aims to make steps forward clear and realistic.

She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, abbreviated as BACP. Tracie practices in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English.

How Tracie uses different approaches in online therapy

Tracie combines Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in a straightforward way. Client-Centred Therapy means the conversation is led by the client's concerns and pace, helping people feel listened to and understood. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying simple experiments to change them, which can help with anxiety, low mood and stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and daily life, then suggest methods that fit. This is a collaborative process and can change as needs evolve.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the available session options before booking as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits your schedule. It can also allow people to continue therapy when life circumstances make in-person visits difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, mindfulness practices and CBT tools to work well in remote sessions.
