About Tracy
Tracy Thompson is a counsellor in the United Kingdom with 16 years of professional experience. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has worked across NHS, charity and private practice settings, helping people with common and complex concerns.
Tracy works with individuals and couples. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression and addiction. She also helps with relationship strain, parenting pressures, family dynamics and issues around sexuality and gender.
Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She treats the person as the expert in their own life and offers guidance and practical structure. Sessions aim to clarify problems and identify small, manageable steps forward.
Tracy draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based work. She uses mindfulness and client-centred principles to help people notice patterns and try different responses. Motivational interviewing is used when people want help with change and relapse prevention.
Many people come with big life changes and trauma. Tracy also addresses grief, intimacy-related issues, ADHD, compassion fatigue and career concerns. Her background includes work with blended family issues, ageing and caregiver stress, chronic illness and body image concerns.

How sessions work
How Tracy’s approaches work in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that match personal values. It can help when anxiety, depression or life transitions make decision-making harder.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It helps people try practical experiments to change unhelpful patterns, useful for anxiety, low mood and some relationship difficulties.
Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns shape current connections. It is used when people want to understand repeating issues in close relationships and improve how they respond to others.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tracy will discuss options with each person and decide together what fits their goals and preferences. This collaborative process can include trying different methods and checking what helps over time.
The practical benefit of online sessions is making therapy easier to fit into everyday life. Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as the biography does not list formats. Online work can reduce travel, allow shorter check-ins during a busy day, or avoid being on camera when that feels difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can use these options to help clients keep therapy consistent with daily routines.
