Tracie McFerran, BACP

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. The therapist creates space for people to tell their story and helps them recognise their own strengths and choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviours interact and teaches practical exercises to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Mindfulness Therapy adds simple attention and breathing practices to help manage stress and stay present.

Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work together. Tracie will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then try methods that fit the person's needs. The plan can change if something is not helpful, and progress is reviewed as therapy continues.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video lets people use visual cues for deeper conversation, phone calls can be quicker check-ins with less bandwidth, and messaging supports shorter, ongoing contact between appointments. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving or mobility constraints while still accessing the same therapeutic approaches used in face-to-face work.
