Tracey Simeonova , BACP

Tracey Simeonova is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach alongside several evidence-informed methods. She draws on 15 years of experience supporting adults and teens through relationship pain, loss, and life changes. Tracey works online and aims to offer a warm, accepting space where people can name what feels hard and start to change unhelpful patterns.

Her work often focuses on relational difficulties. That includes problems with self-worth, body image, shame, communication, and repeated patterns that get in the way of intimate connection. She also helps people who are coping with grief, transitions, addiction concerns, stress and anxiety.

Tracey trained and practised across charities, the NHS, international schools in Asia and the Middle East, and private practice. She has also taught trainee counsellors on an Integrative Counselling degree programme. Her background gives her experience with a range of life and cultural contexts.

In sessions Tracey uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-informed ideas, cognitive behavioural tools, existential questions and a client-centred stance. She adapts what she uses to suit each person rather than following one fixed method. Conversations are practical and focused on what the person wants to change.

Tracey holds BACP registration, which is listed as her professional credential. She offers sessions remotely from the United Kingdom and works in English. International clients are welcomed where scheduling allows.

Approaches for online relationship and life work

Tracey commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside a client-centred stance. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, avoidance and struggles with motivation.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds shape current relationship patterns and feelings of safety. It helps people understand why they repeat certain emotional responses and work towards more secure ways of relating. Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of the work, offering empathy, acceptance and a non-judgemental space to talk things through.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify what matches the client's goals, preferences and practical needs. That may mean trying different tools across sessions and checking in about what helps most.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation across distance. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging support briefer check-ins, reflection between sessions and flexible contact outside usual hours. These options aim to make therapy more accessible and easier to fit around work, family and travel commitments.
