About Tracie

Tracie McFerran is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety and low self-esteem. She works with adults facing life changes, relationship strain, grief and issues around intimacy and anger. Tracie also supports people dealing with parenting challenges, career worries, ADHD and trauma or abuse concerns.

She is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which is noted in her credentials. Tracie uses straightforward conversation to help people name problems and find workable steps forward.

Background and approach

Sessions are collaborative: she listens first, then helps set short-term goals and practical tasks. Techniques draw on talking therapies and brief evidence-informed tools to address unhelpful thought patterns and build coping skills. She adapts her approach for people who are processing grief, feelings of abandonment, or family of origin issues.

Tracie also offers support around neurodiversity topics such as autism and Asperger syndrome, and can help with communication problems and blended family dynamics. She aims to make each session relevant to the issues brought by the client. Over six years she has worked with people facing ageing and geriatric concerns, intellectual disability, codependency and dissociation.

Her style is calm and practical, focusing on one step at a time. She encourages clients to use their own strengths while trying new ways of coping. Tracie offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to suit different needs.

People can expect clear discussion of goals, gentle challenge when helpful, and follow-up ideas to try between sessions.

How Tracie works online and what to expect

Tracie often uses Client-Centred Therapy to focus on what matters to each person. This approach means the counsellor listens deeply, reflects what is shared and helps clients find their own answers. It suits people who want a supportive space to talk through feelings and decisions.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT to tackle unhelpful thought patterns and build new coping skills. CBT can help with anxiety, low mood, anger and practical problems by breaking issues into smaller, manageable steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tracie discusses goals and preferences with each person and then suggests what might help most. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as needs shift.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to fit different lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can suit people with less bandwidth, live chat works for quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options give flexibility for work breaks, travel or fitting therapy around caring responsibilities.
