Background and approach

Her practice covers a wide range of concerns including parenting challenges, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, trauma and abuse, anger, career worries and depression. She also works with people facing neurodiversity-related matters, attachment and family of origin issues, and challenges such as codependency or control struggles.

Tracie draws on six years of experience and holds BACP accreditation, which is registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She offers sessions in English and works with adults who want a thoughtful, steady listener and practical tools. People who choose Tracie can expect straightforward conversation, tailored strategies and gentle encouragement to try new ways of coping.

She supports clients through short-term problem solving and longer-term reflection, depending on each person’s goals and pace.

Approaches and how they work online

Client-Centred Therapy is grounded in listening and reflecting back what matters to the person. It helps people feel heard and to discover their own solutions when facing stress, relationship struggles or low self-worth.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviours. It suits worries, anxiety, depression and practical problems where clear experiments and tasks can make a difference.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention skills to reduce reactivity and manage difficult feelings. This can help with stress, rumination and coping with change.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then agree a way forward together. That collaborative process can include trying different techniques to see what helps most.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, which gives flexibility for different needs. Video calls let people use visual cues, phone sessions can work well with limited bandwidth, and messaging or live chat can fit quick check-ins or those who prefer not to be on camera. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around family life, work and other commitments while keeping the focus on progress and practical change.
