About Tracie
Tracie Richards is a BACP counsellor with 15 years of experience working in the United Kingdom. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, career challenges and coaching needs. Tracie also works with issues such as guilt and shame, abandonment, attachment concerns and isolation. Sessions are offered in English.
Tracie uses a straightforward, conversational style in sessions. She focuses on practical steps people can try between meetings and on understanding patterns that keep difficult feelings alive. Her work draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centred methods, cognitive behavioural tools and EMDR when trauma memories need different handling.
People come to Tracie for a mix of immediate problem-solving and deeper emotional work. That might mean checking how thoughts and behaviours feed anxiety, or looking at how past relationships shape current trust and guilt. She also uses motivational interviewing to help clarify goals and decisions when someone feels stuck.
Tracie aims to make sessions a place to talk frankly about what is hard. She outlines options and helps people pick approaches that make sense for them. Practical matters such as costs vary by location and are handled through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
To start, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled. International clients are not currently accepted, and all work takes place with English-language sessions.
How her approaches translate to online work
Tracie blends attachment-based ideas, client-centred practice and cognitive behavioural techniques in online sessions. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people notice and change those dynamics. Client-centred work focuses on the person speaking and allows them to lead the topics while the therapist reflects and clarifies. CBT offers concrete strategies to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours that keep guilt and anxiety active.Finding the right mix of methods is treated as a shared task. The therapist discusses options with the client and adjusts approaches based on their needs, goals and preferences. This collaborative process helps decide when to use emotion-focused reflection, skills-based CBT tools or trauma-focused methods such as EMDR.
Practical benefits of online work are framed around fitting therapy into everyday life. Confirm the exact session formats before booking, since the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to arrange appointments around work or family time, reduce travel, or use a shorter check-in when energy or time is limited. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists with Tracie's background, can guide clients on which format and approach will suit their situation best.
