Tracey Simeonova is a counsellor who works online and uses person-centred principles alongside evidence-based approaches. She focuses on relationships and the patterns that keep people stuck. Tracey helps people who feel overwhelmed by shame, low self-worth, loss or repeating painful cycles.

She has 15 years of clinical experience in a range of settings. Her background includes work with charities, the NHS, international schools in Asia and the Middle East, and independent practice.

Background and approach

She has also taught trainee counsellors on an integrative counselling degree programme. Tracey combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioural tools with a client-centred stance. In a session she listens carefully, reflects what matters to you, and offers practical ways to notice unhelpful patterns.

Sessions focus on small, manageable changes rather than big leaps. People come to her for relationship problems, family tensions, trauma and abuse, anxiety, stress and addictions. She also works with issues such as body image, eating concerns, grief, parenting stress, anger and emptiness.

Tracey pays attention to how past attachment experiences shape present day reactions. Her style is compassionate and straightforward. She aims to create a calm space where people can talk through difficult feelings, try out new ways of relating, and build more self-acceptance.

Over time she helps clients find clearer choices and steps forward.

How her approaches work online and what to expect

Tracey draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas alongside a client-centred stance. ACT helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings and then choose actions that matter to them, which can be useful for anxiety, avoidance or life changes. Attachment-based work looks at early relationship patterns and how they show up now, which often helps with intimacy issues, abandonment fears and communication problems. A client-centred approach means sessions begin from listening with empathy and reflecting what is important to the person, creating space to explore feelings and make choices.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process and it is collaborative. Tracey will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they try methods that fit the issue and adapt the pace as needed, checking in about what helps and what does not.

Online therapy offers flexibility that suits many people. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when tone and eye contact matter, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a short break. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, reflective writing or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to work around busy lives and different time zones while using the same therapeutic approaches.
