About Tracy
Tracy Thompson is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 16 years of work experience across the NHS, charities and private practice. She works with individuals and couples on common concerns such as depression, anxiety and addictions, as well as relationship and family difficulties.
Her day-to-day approach is practical and straightforward. She treats clients as the experts on their own lives and offers guidance and structure rather than prescriptions. Sessions focus on what is happening now, what matters to the client, and small steps that can make a difference.
Tracy uses a mix of well-known counselling methods. She draws on cognitive behavioural therapy to help spot unhelpful thinking patterns. Mindfulness techniques are used to slow things down and notice what is happening in the moment. Attachment-based ideas and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy inform how she works on relationships and values.
Typical issues she sees include stress, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy and sexual concerns, parenting strain, LGBT and gender matters, ADHD and long-term health challenges. She also supports people dealing with career pressures, compassion fatigue and codependency.
She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and follows their ethical guidelines. Her practice is covered by insurance under UK legislation. To start, clients follow the site booking flow and complete a short questionnaire to match with a first session.
How her therapeutic approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that align with those values. It is useful for issues like anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and testing unhelpful thoughts and trying out new behaviours, which can ease patterns that maintain stress and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people understand and shift how they relate to others.Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss what feels most relevant and try different tools with the client’s goals and preferences in mind. Together they check what helps and adapt the work as needed rather than sticking rigidly to one method.
Confirm the session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. When choosing a format, consider practicalities such as camera use, internet bandwidth and whether a shorter phone check-in might suit a busy day. Registered or accredited professionals can use online work to maintain continuity of care and make it simpler to engage with therapy alongside everyday life.
