About Tracie
Tracie McFerran is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with six years of experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, parenting challenges and anger. She also supports people facing grief, relationship strain, life changes and ADHD-related concerns.
Tracie draws on several approaches to keep sessions practical and straightforward. She uses client-centred listening so people can tell their story and be understood. She brings in cognitive behavioural techniques to spot thinking patterns that fuel anger and anxiety. Mindfulness tools are used to help slow reactions and regain control in tense moments.
Her background includes work with parents of children who have additional needs or life-limiting conditions. That experience informs how she helps people manage ongoing pressure and changing routines. She also has experience with trauma and abuse, family of origin issues and identity concerns such as LGBT matters.
Sessions focus on what the person wants to change and on small, usable steps. Tracie helps clients practise different ways of responding to frustration and build clearer communication habits. She encourages straightforward goal-setting and checks progress each session.
Tracie works in English and discusses the most suitable approach at the first meeting. If someone wants to explore how anger shows up at work, at home or in relationships, she will listen and help map practical next steps.
How sessions work
How Tracie uses her approaches online
Tracie combines client-centred work with cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness to help people manage anger and stress. Client-centred work means she listens closely to the person and reflects what she hears so they can clarify their priorities and values. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviours to reduce reactivity and improve problem solving. Mindfulness provides short practical exercises to notice bodily tension and bring attention back from automatic reactions, which can reduce sudden outbursts.Finding the best mix of methods is part of the work. Tracie will discuss goals and preferences, and together the client and therapist decide which techniques to try. This collaborative approach keeps sessions grounded in what the person wants to change and what feels manageable week to week.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow a quicker check-in during a work break, or let someone use mindfulness practices without travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises for a video or phone setting and focus on short practical tasks you can use between sessions.
