Tracy Thompson has worked in counselling for 16 years across the NHS, charities and independent practice in the United Kingdom. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and follows their ethical guidelines. Tracy meets people where they are and helps them move forward with practical steps.

Her style is collaborative and down to earth. She treats clients as experts in their own lives and offers structure, guidance and reflective listening.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on what is happening now and on small changes that make daily life easier. Tracy helps people facing stress, anxiety and depression, as well as addictions and grief. She also supports those coping with trauma, relationship and intimacy concerns, sexuality and gender questions, and parenting strains.

She works with career worries, self-esteem problems, bipolar mood challenges and complex life transitions. Her additional areas of focus include body image, chronic illness and pain, caregiver stress, attachment and abandonment issues, autism and Asperger Syndrome, blended family dynamics and some aspects of alternative sexual cultures. She also offers coaching for practical goal-setting alongside therapeutic work.

Tracy uses a mix of evidence-based approaches and practical listening to suit each person. She aims to make sessions feel manageable, with clear steps to try between meetings. She welcomes international clients and works in English.

Approaches you can use online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying what matters most to someone and taking small actions in that direction. It can help with anxiety, depression and life changes by shifting attention toward values and workable steps.

Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a supportive, non-judgemental relationship where the counsellor listens and follows the client’s pace. This approach is useful for building self-esteem, working through grief and sorting out relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels helpful, then suggest methods to try. Decisions about approach are reviewed as therapy progresses to keep it a good fit.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging gives practical flexibility. Video lets you keep visual contact for deeper conversation. Phone sessions work well when lower bandwidth or no camera is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins, shorter sessions or people who prefer typing instead of speaking.

These options mean therapy can fit around work, family life and travel, while still allowing regular contact with a registered or accredited professional.
