About Tracey
Tracey Simeonova is a BACP counsellor with 15 years' experience working with adults and teenagers in the United Kingdom and abroad. She has practised in charities, the NHS, international schools in Asia and the Middle East, and in private practice. Tracey focuses on relationship and family concerns alongside trauma, anxiety, depression and parenting difficulties.
Tracey uses a person-centred stance and draws on a range of approaches to help people make sense of their patterns. Sessions aim to look at thoughts, feelings and behaviours that get in the way of everyday life. She pays attention to attachment and how early experiences affect current relationships.
Many people come to her feeling overwhelmed by repeated cycles of difficult feelings and behaviours. She works with issues such as body image, self-worth, shame, codependency and communication problems. Tracey also supports people dealing with loss, life transitions and struggles with addiction or eating-related difficulties.
Her work combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy with attachment-focused and existential ideas. This mix is used to help people locate what matters to them and practise small, realistic changes. She also brings a client-centred emphasis that keeps the person's experience central to the sessions.
Tracey has experience teaching trainee counsellors on an integrative counselling degree programme. That background informs an approach that is straightforward and practice-oriented. To start, she asks people to describe the patterns they want to change and what a more manageable life would look like.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Tracey commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas alongside a client-centred foundation. ACT focuses on identifying personal values and learning small actions that align with them, which can help with anxiety, depression and relationship patterns. Attachment-based work explores how early bonds shape current ways of relating and can be useful for intimacy, abandonment and communication difficulties. A client-centred emphasis keeps sessions grounded in the person's present experience and priorities.Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Tracey will listen to what matters to the person, talk through practical options and agree on steps to try. Together they check what helps and adjust methods if needed rather than sticking rigidly to a single model.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as current options are listed when you choose to proceed. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people continue work with a therapist while living abroad, subject to any local rules. Practical matters such as audio-only check-ins or camera sessions can be discussed to find what suits each person's routine and technical setup.
