Tracy Kent is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) in the United Kingdom. She has four years of post-qualifying experience supporting people through common mental health problems and more complex trauma. Tracy focuses on practical steps that help clients feel steadier and more able to cope with day to day life.

Her work often addresses stress and anxiety, and she supports people managing depression and low self-esteem.

Background and approach

She also has notable experience with trauma and survivors of domestic abuse. Tracy helps clients who are dealing with panic, social anxiety or the effects of past sexual assault and abuse. Sessions aim to build on a person’s existing strengths.

Tracy believes each person is the expert in their own story and that recovery draws on what already works for them. She uses straightforward conversation to identify manageable changes and small goals that fit the client’s life. People come to Tracy for support with life changes, attachment concerns, dissociation, guilt and shame, mood disorders, and seasonal mood shifts.

She also works with young adult issues, women’s issues, narcissism dynamics, somatisation, and post-traumatic stress. Her approach is practical and focused on what clients want to achieve. Tracy offers therapy in English and works online.

Sessions can be by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. She encourages anyone who is ready to take a step to complete a short matching questionnaire to begin the process.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Tracy draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding and reducing the impact of distressing symptoms. One common approach helps people recognise how thoughts and behaviours affect mood and stress, then practises small changes to reduce anxiety and low mood. This is useful for panic, social anxiety and day to day stress.

Another strand of work focuses on trauma-informed care, which helps people process distressing experiences at a pace that suits them. This approach pays attention to triggers, bodily reactions such as dissociation, and building safety around difficult memories, and it is often used for survivors of domestic or sexual abuse.

Finding the right method is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and responses to early sessions and adapt the approach over time. Clients are invited to give feedback so the work fits their life and priorities.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face to face conversation when a fuller interaction is helpful. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier during a short break. Live chat or text-based messaging suits quick check-ins, written reflection and people who prefer not to use video. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy routines and different daily realities.
