About Tracie
Tracie McFerran welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, low in confidence, or coping with big life changes. She writes plainly and listens closely so people can make sense of what they're facing. Tracie works to build a practical way forward that fits each person's life and priorities.
She uses an integrated approach that draws on different therapies as needed. Sessions focus on understanding the problems that matter most, spotting strengths, and trying practical steps that can ease pressure day to day.
Background and approach
Tracie encourages small changes that add up over time. Her work includes supporting parents of children with additional needs or life-limiting conditions. She also helps people dealing with stress, depression, grief, relationship strain, intimacy-related worries, anger, career concerns, and issues around identity and belonging.
Attention to attachment, abandonment, and family of origin themes often appears in her conversations. Tracie has six years of experience and holds BACP accreditation, which indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She is based in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English.
Her approach aims to be warm and down-to-earth. People can expect a respectful space to talk, practical ideas to try between sessions, and collaborative planning to meet personal goals. Taking the first step is acknowledged as difficult, and Tracie aims to make that step feel manageable.

How Tracie works online
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, works on changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. It often uses practical exercises and short tasks to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and build coping skills between sessions.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and increase awareness of emotions. It can help with anxiety, rumination, and moments of overwhelm.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try approaches that suit the person's needs. Clients and the therapist decide collaboratively what to focus on and which techniques to try.
If you are considering online therapy, check the session formats available before booking so you know how you will meet. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when required, and reduce the need to travel. Confirm the practical arrangements and scheduling when you sign up so sessions fit your routine.
