Tracey Harrison, BACP

Tracey Harrison helps people manage stress, anxiety, family difficulties, grief, parenting strain and low self-esteem. She explains things simply and focuses on practical steps people can use day to day. Tracey uses a range of approaches to suit different needs and keeps sessions straightforward and goal-focused.

Tracey has seven years' experience working in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration from the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She draws on experience with adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, caregiver stress and blended family issues when shaping support for clients. Her background also includes work around chronic illness, ageing and fatherhood issues.

Sessions are tailored to what each person says they need. Tracey listens for what matters most, then helps clients try small changes that make a real difference. She uses talking work alongside creative or body-based techniques when these better match someone's way of explaining things.

People might expect structured sessions that cover current worries, set short-term goals and practise new strategies between meetings. Tracey is comfortable discussing communication problems, codependency, feelings of emptiness and dependence, and can support coping after disasters or big life changes.

Her style is warm and practical. She explains options clearly and checks in about progress. The aim is to help people build confidence and find steadier ways to cope with everyday pressures.

Approaches that suit online therapy

Brief talking therapy helps people put words to their worries, spot patterns and try practical coping strategies; it is useful for anxiety, stress and low self-esteem. Creative approaches can include drawing or expressive activities adapted for video or messaging to help people who find it easier to show feelings than name them. Body-aware techniques and gentle relaxation practices can be taught over a video call or described in text, and they help with chronic pain, tension and settling strong emotions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about goals, past experience and what feels comfortable, then suggest a plan to test over a few sessions. Adjustments are made as needed so people try what helps most for them.

Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat or text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing, need brief on-the-go support or want to reflect before responding. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and daily life.
