About Tracey
Tracey Harrison is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who focuses on parenting concerns, stress, anxiety, grief and self-esteem. She works with parents and carers who are feeling overwhelmed, unsure or stuck and helps them find practical ways forward. Her approach is straightforward and compassionate, aimed at making small changes that add up to real relief.
Tracey offers one-to-one talking therapy alongside other methods such as clinical hypnotherapy, Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Drawing and Talking Therapy, and Sand Tray Therapy.
Background and approach
She adapts sessions to each person, choosing tools that fit the situation rather than using the same method for everyone. Sessions are shaped around what a client needs in the moment and what goals they want to reach. Her background includes work in education and special educational needs and disability, which informs how she supports carers and parents.
That experience helps her translate emotional concerns into practical steps that families can use day to day. Tracey pays attention to communication patterns, boundaries and routines as part of building more stable family life. She also works with issues linked to adoption and foster care, attachment, caregiver stress, chronic illness, codependency and fatherhood issues.
These areas are approached in simple, clear language so clients can act on the ideas discussed. Tracey encourages a collaborative working style. She tailors conversations and plans to each person, and aims to help clients feel more confident and better able to manage family challenges.

Therapeutic techniques and online support for parents
Tracey uses several evidence-based techniques adapted for online work. Clinical hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation and focused attention to change unhelpful habits and reduce anxiety symptoms; it can help with panic, stress management and sleep. Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) offers practical ways to reframe thoughts and behaviours, useful when someone wants concrete steps to change how they respond in stressful parenting moments. Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) combines gentle tapping with talking work to lower acute stress and shift emotional reactions.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work together. Tracey will talk through your goals, try methods that suit your needs and check in regularly to see what helps. The process is collaborative and adjustments are made if something is not working.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy parents. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions suit those with lower bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, jotting down thoughts between sessions or fitting a session into a short break. These options make it easier to keep therapeutic progress going around family life and work commitments.
