About Tracie
Tracie McFerran is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with six years' experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, parenting challenges, and life changes. She also supports those facing grief, relationship and intimacy issues, anger, career concerns and attention-related difficulties.
She uses a blend of straightforward, practical methods. That includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help spot unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. She also draws on client-centred listening and mindfulness work to slow things down and notice what matters most.
Sessions aim to be clear and goal-focused. Tracie helps people break problems into smaller steps. She works on everyday skills such as recognising triggers, changing repetitive thinking, and building manageable routines.
Her background includes supporting parents of children with additional needs and life-limiting conditions. She has experience with trauma, family of origin issues, attachment concerns, and neurodiversity such as autism and intellectual disability. These areas inform how she plans practical next steps with each person.
Tracie describes people as the experts in their own stories and focuses on strengths the person already has. Practical tasks between sessions are commonly used to test new approaches and notice what helps. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and book an initial session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Tracie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centred listening in her practice. CBT involves spotting patterns of thinking and testing small behaviour changes to reduce stress or anxiety. Client-centred work focuses on attentive listening and helping the person set their own goals. Mindfulness therapy is also part of her toolbox and helps people notice bodily and mental reactions in the moment to reduce reactivity.Deciding which approach to use is part of the early sessions. She will work with the person to agree which methods match their goals and preferences, and adapt as work progresses. That makes the process collaborative rather than fixed from the start.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around daily life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also support people who prefer to use techniques such as mindfulness or homework tasks between meetings. Registered or accredited professionals can help plan practical ways to use sessions that suit each person's schedule and needs.
