About Tracey

Tracey Harrison is a BACP-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with seven years' experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, family difficulties, grief, parenting worries and low self-esteem. Tracey also lists areas such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment issues and codependency among her focus areas.

She uses a mix of talking therapy and creative methods. That includes approaches such as Clinical Hypnotherapy, Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Drawing and Talking Therapy and Sand Tray Therapy as set out in her background. These methods are offered to suit different needs and ways of communicating.

Tracey has a background in education and Special Educational Needs and Disability. That experience informs the way she works with carers and people connected to children and young people. She aims to adapt how she talks and the techniques she uses so conversations stay practical and clear.

In sessions she focuses on identifying patterns that leave someone putting others first, and on practical steps to change those patterns. Conversations can cover setting boundaries, managing anxiety, and coping with family stress or grief. For parents and carers she offers ways to handle the strain that comes with caregiving.

To begin, the site asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. The subscription-based sessions can be cancelled at any time, and the cost varies with location. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not currently accepted.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Tracey works with several evidence-informed techniques that can suit different needs. Clinical Hypnotherapy is a guided approach that helps people focus attention and change unhelpful thoughts or responses; it can be useful for anxiety, low confidence and habits that keep repeating. Neuro Linguistic Programming, or NLP, looks at how language and internal patterns shape behaviour and can offer practical ways to shift responses and try new behaviours. Emotional Freedom Technique, or EFT, combines gentle tapping with talking to reduce intense emotional reactions and can help with stress and overwhelming feelings.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist discusses goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before, then agrees which method or mix of methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is reviewed.

The biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm the current online session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit work on boundaries and stress into everyday life, whether you need a shorter check-in at lunchtime, a session that does not require travel, or an option that uses less data or no camera. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and creative techniques so they work well across different ways of meeting.
