About Tracie

Tracie McFerran is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and the upheaval of life changes. She works with people dealing with grief, relationship and intimacy worries, anger, career concerns and ADHD-related challenges. Tracie also supports those navigating parenting challenges, including parents of children with additional needs. She offers a calm, encouraging presence for people taking that first step towards change.

Tracie practises from an integrated perspective that draws on several established approaches. She listens first and aims to understand each person’s story before suggesting ways forward. Conversations focus on identifying strengths and practical steps to reduce anxiety, improve confidence and manage difficult emotions.

Her work includes helping people repair patterns that leave them feeling empty, overwhelmed or overly responsible for others, including issues labelled as codependency. Tracie also has experience with attachment and family of origin issues, abandonment, dissociation and guilt or shame. She brings six years of clinical experience to this work.

Tracie holds registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP. She works with people in English and practises across common adult concerns such as depression, trauma and coping with loss. If someone wants to explore how therapy might fit into their life, she invites them to make a first connection and discuss next steps.

How Tracie’s approaches fit with online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of each session. The counsellor listens without judgement and follows what matters most to the client, helping them feel heard and seen. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers clear techniques to reduce anxiety and change unhelpful habits. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve calm.

Finding the right approach is something to do together. Tracie will explore a client’s goals, preferences and practical needs and then suggest which methods to try. That collaborative process means the plan can change as progress is made and new priorities emerge.

The practical benefits of online sessions should be confirmed before booking, as specific session formats are not listed here. Many people find remote work useful because it can fit around family, work and appointments, reduce travel time and make shorter check-ins easier to arrange. Talk to the service when you book to confirm which session formats are available and how they can fit into everyday life.
