Tracie McFerran

Tracie McFerran is a counsellor who helps people facing anger, stress and anxiety. She works with individuals who are struggling with low self-esteem, life changes, grief and relationship concerns. She aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk about what feels hard right now.

Tracie works from an integrated approach that draws on several therapeutic ideas. She uses client-centred ways of working that put the person’s experience first and help them make sense of their feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy tools are used to spot patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going, and to try practical alternatives.

She also brings mindfulness techniques to help people notice intense emotions and manage their reactions in the moment. Psychodynamic ideas are used to look at how past experiences shape current patterns. Solution-focused methods support short-term planning and clear goal-setting when that is helpful.

Her background includes supporting parents of children with additional needs and people coping with both big and small life changes. She has six years of experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

Sessions are conducted in English and take place in the United Kingdom. Tracie encourages small steps and practical strategies, and she invites people to be curious about what might change when they try new ways of responding to anger and stress.

How Tracie’s approaches fit with online therapy

Tracie draws on client-centred work to listen closely to the person’s story and priorities, helping shape sessions around what matters most. This approach is useful when someone needs space to be heard and to build trust before trying specific techniques.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and testing practical changes. CBT can help with anger, anxiety and stress by teaching clear steps to change patterns and try alternatives.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Tracie will discuss options, try methods together, and adjust the plan based on what works and what the client prefers. The aim is to match tools and goals rather than follow a single path.

If you are considering online therapy, check the current session options before booking. The therapist’s profile does not list specific formats, so confirm whether video or phone sessions are available. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time so people can attend from different locations. Many people find it helpful when day-to-day life needs to stay balanced with therapy.
