About Tracey

Tracey Harrison is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, parenting strains, grief and low self-esteem. She works with carers and those connected to children and young people, drawing on a background in education and Special Educational Needs and Disability. Tracey aims to create practical, person-focused support so people can feel steadier and more confident day to day.

Her approach is flexible and tailored to each person. She uses talking therapy alongside creative methods such as Drawing and Talking and Sand Tray Therapy when these suit the person’s needs. She also offers Clinical Hypnotherapy, Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) as additional options to explore how feelings and behaviour can change.

Tracey has seven years of experience working in the United Kingdom and she holds BACP accreditation, which is noted in her credentials as BACP. That background includes time in education and work with Special Educational Needs and Disability, so she is familiar with challenges carers and parents often meet.

Sessions are shaped around what each person needs; Tracey will listen, suggest practical steps, and adapt tools to fit daily life. She emphasises respect and sensitivity in her work and aims to help people build confidence and cope better with change.

To begin, clients choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule according to the therapist’s availability. Costs vary with location and are managed through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Step 3

How Tracey’s approaches can work online

Tracey uses a mix of talking-based and creative methods to help people manage emotions and build coping skills. Clinical Hypnotherapy is a focused way of working with attention and suggestion to support changes in habit, confidence and reactions to stress. Drawing and Talking Therapy offers a visual route for children and young people to express feelings when words are hard to find.

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are part of her toolbox, and deciding which to use happens together. The therapist will work with the client to test approaches, review what helps, and adjust the plan so it fits the person’s goals and preferences.

If you are considering online work, confirm the session formats before booking as the profile does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also allow creative methods to be arranged in ways that suit the household, for example by planning activities or materials in advance to use during a session.
