About Tracie
Tracie McFerran is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with six years' experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, parenting challenges and life changes, and she also supports those dealing with grief, trauma, relationship and intimacy concerns.
Tracie draws on an integrated approach in session. She uses client-centred listening to understand what matters most to the person in front of her. She also brings techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness to help manage thoughts and feelings in practical ways.
In practice she helps parents who have children with additional needs and people adjusting to new stages of life. Sessions cover everyday problems as well as longer-standing patterns such as attachment, abandonment and family of origin issues. She is also experienced in supporting people with ADHD and autism-related concerns alongside emotional struggles like guilt and shame.
Tracie works with relationship issues, communication problems and codependency, and she offers support for anger, career stress and the strain of caregiving or ageing-related concerns. Work can include exploring past experiences that keep causing pain, and building small changes that make daily life easier.
Sessions are conducted in English and she does not take international clients. Practical next steps for someone interested are to use the site matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment to discuss aims and preferences.
How her approaches work for online sessions
Tracie uses client-centred work and cognitive behavioural techniques that translate well to remote sessions. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and helping people clarify what matters to them, which helps build trust and clear goals. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical tools to reduce anxiety, manage low mood and change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and together decide which approaches suit the situation. That means treatments are adjusted over time as goals change, rather than fixed from the start.
The biography does not list which session formats are offered, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around study, work or caring responsibilities. They also allow shorter check-ins or sessions that do not require being on camera, depending on the formats agreed when arranging appointments.
