About Tracey

Tracey Harrison is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom who supports people facing stress, anxiety, family strain, grief, parenting challenges and low self-esteem. She works with carers and those linked to adoption and foster care, and she aims to offer practical help that fits everyday life.

She uses a mix of talking work and creative methods to suit the person in front of her. That can include one-to-one talking therapy, clinical hypnotherapy, Neuro Linguistic Programming and Emotional Freedom Technique, as listed in her biography. Creative options such as Drawing and Talking Therapy and Sand Tray Therapy are available and often help children and young people express difficult feelings.

Tracey draws on seven years of clinical experience and a background in education and Special Educational Needs and Disability. This experience informs how she adapts sessions for carers, parents and people supporting children with extra needs.

Sessions are tailored around the individual. She shapes the conversation and the techniques to match what the person needs that week. The aim is to build confidence, reduce distress and develop ways to cope with everyday problems.

Her approach is described as compassionate and practical. She emphasises respect, sensitivity and listening first. People are encouraged to set small goals and notice gradual change over time.

Approaches you might use in online sessions

Evidence-based talking work is central to Tracey's practice and means looking at thoughts and feelings together to find helpful ways to cope with stress and anxiety. This involves practical conversation, setting small goals, and trying techniques between sessions to build resilience.

Clinical hypnotherapy is offered as a therapeutic tool she uses to support relaxation and to help reframe unhelpful patterns of thinking. It can be useful for anxiety, low motivation and sleep-related difficulties when combined with talking work.

Creative therapies such as Drawing and Talking and Sand Tray Therapy give alternative ways to communicate emotions. These methods can be especially helpful for children and for adults who find it hard to put feelings into words.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, try methods that fit your goals, and adapt the plan as you go so the work feels right for you.

The specifics of how online sessions are offered are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed, while still focusing on practical strategies and gradual change.
