About Tracie
Tracie McFerran is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety and depression. She works with those struggling with low self-esteem, relationship and intimacy concerns, and people coping with major life changes. Tracie also supports parents managing the demands of raising children with additional needs.
She practises in the United Kingdom and sees clients in English. Tracie uses an integrated approach that draws on several well-known counselling methods. Sessions focus on the client’s story and strengths, with the counsellor offering practical tools for day-to-day coping.
Background and approach
Conversations aim to be straightforward and grounded, so people leave with actions they can try between sessions. Her work covers a wide range of issues including grief, trauma and abuse, anger, career stress and ADHD-related concerns. Tracie also addresses family-of-origin matters, attachment and communication problems, and feelings of emptiness or shame.
She offers support for people dealing with abandonment, control issues and dissociation. Tracie holds BACP, which identifies her as registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has six years of experience in the field and brings that background to the counselling space.
Her practice uses an adaptable mix of approaches rather than a single method. People who meet Tracie can expect a collaborative tone. She places emphasis on clients as experts in their own lives and works to build on existing strengths.
Beginning therapy is framed as a step-by-step process, with practical strategies introduced as needed.

Online support
Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. It teaches clear strategies to challenge unhelpful thinking and to develop practical coping skills for anxiety, depression and stress.
Mindfulness techniques are also used to help people notice their thoughts and bodily reactions without getting swept away by them. These practices can support mood regulation and reduce overwhelm in daily life.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which combination of methods fits their goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as needs evolve.
Online sessions are offered by registered or accredited professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls suit those who prefer face-to-face conversation, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and messaging make shorter check-ins possible and help people who do better with written reflection. Together these options provide flexibility so therapy can fit around day-to-day life.
