Tracey Bonelle , BACP

Tracey Bonelle offers a calm, straightforward approach for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or life changes. She meets clients with warmth and listens closely so they can talk about what matters most. Her style aims to help people make sense of their patterns and find practical ways to feel steadier day to day.

Tracey works in a collaborative way and adapts to each person’s needs. She helps clients notice repeated reactions, process difficult emotions and build simple coping strategies. Sessions can focus on relationship and intimacy issues, eating or sleeping difficulties, parenting strain, career concerns, addictions, ADHD and more.

Her background includes six years of practice and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - MBACP. Tracey has experience working in the United Kingdom across health, education and charity settings and has supported people through bereavement, trauma, mood difficulties and chronic health challenges.

In therapy she draws on attachment-focused ideas, person-centred listening, mindfulness and practical skills from DBT. The aim is to combine understanding with tools that fit daily life, whether that means learning emotion regulation skills or exploring how early relationships shape current patterns.

Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text messaging so people can choose what suits them best. International clients can be seen in English. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used and sessions are scheduled around the therapist’s availability.

How Tracey’s approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns and emotional reactions. Online sessions can use this approach to gently explore relationship themes and rebuild a more secure way of relating to others.

Client-centred therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the work and relies on listening, empathy and collaboration. In an online setting this means sessions are driven by what feels most important to the client and paced to their needs.

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, or DBT, offers practical skills for regulating intense emotions and handling conflict. When delivered remotely these skills can be taught, practised and recalled between sessions to help manage moments of distress or impulsive behaviour.

Finding the right approach is part of the work and Tracey treats this as a shared process. She will discuss goals, preferences and the issues you bring, and together you will agree which methods to try and when to adjust course.

Online therapy brings practical benefits such as flexibility of scheduling and a range of ways to connect. Video calls are close to face-to-face conversation, phone sessions need less bandwidth, live chat suits quick check-ins and text messaging can help people reflect between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while keeping the focus on progress and usable skills.
