About Tracey

Tracey Harrison is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with seven years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, family problems, grief, parenting challenges and low self-esteem. Tracey also lists a range of related concerns she supports, such as abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, attachment difficulties and caregiver stress.

Her approach combines talking therapy with a selection of other methods that the biography names. These include clinical hypnotherapy, Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) and creative options such as Drawing and Talking Therapy and Sand Tray Therapy. Tracey says these creative methods can help children and young people express difficult feelings in different ways.

Tracey has a background in education and Special Educational Needs and Disability, which informs how she works with carers and parents. She describes adapting sessions to suit each person's needs and life circumstances. Conversations are shaped around the issues a person brings and practical ways to manage them.

She emphasises respect and sensitivity when addressing emotional difficulties. Tracey supports people through grief, family conflict and parenting strain, and works on building confidence and motivation. The biography notes that she tailors dialogue and plans to the individual.

If someone wants to begin, the process described is to use the online matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Tracey lists a mix of talking therapy and additional approaches in her biography. Clinical hypnotherapy is one method she uses; it involves guided relaxation and focused attention to address habits, anxiety and emotional responses. Neuro Linguistic Programming, or NLP, looks at patterns in thoughts and language to shift how someone reacts to situations. Emotional Freedom Technique, or EFT, combines brief tapping with talking to reduce stress and soothe strong emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to identify which methods make sense for their goals, needs and preferences, and adjust over time as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific session formats here, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around study, work and daily life, and may reduce travel time. They can also allow for shorter check-ins when needed or a quieter setting if that helps concentration. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists generally use online work to offer continuity of care alongside in-person options when available.
