About Tracie
Tracie McFerran is a counsellor who focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety and changes in their lives. She works with people feeling low self-esteem, struggling with grief, or managing relationship and intimacy concerns. Tracie also supports those coping with trauma, parenting pressures and career challenges.
She is based in the United Kingdom and uses a thoughtful, person-focused style. Tracie uses a mix of practical approaches to suit different needs.
Background and approach
She draws on client-centred work to build a trusting conversation and CBT to help with anxious thoughts and unhelpful behaviours. Mindfulness techniques are used to bring attention to the present moment and reduce overwhelm. Psychodynamic ideas can help uncover patterns from earlier life that still affect feelings now.
People meet Tracie for straightforward, calm conversations. Sessions tend to focus on what is happening now and what the person wants to change. She pays attention to strengths and small steps that can make a real difference day to day.
Tracie holds BACP, which means she is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has six years of experience working with a wide range of concerns including ADHD, bereavement and family of origin issues. Sessions are offered in English.
Starting involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that suits the individual. Therapy uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging.
How Tracie’s approaches work online
Tracie uses client-centred work to create a supportive space where the person’s priorities guide each session. This approach focuses on listening, empathy and helping people find their own solutions to the problems they bring. Cognitive behavioural therapy or CBT is used to identify anxious thoughts and test them against real-life evidence; it offers practical exercises and steps to reduce worry and change patterns.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences and what has worked before, then suggest a blend of methods. Together they decide which techniques to try and check in regularly to adjust the plan if needed.
Online sessions offer flexibility for different needs. Video calls let people use visual cues and a fuller conversational style. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, reflective notes between sessions or people who prefer typing to speaking. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and busy schedules.
