Tracey Slater , BACP

Tracey Slater offers trauma-sensitive, integrative counselling that adapts to each person's needs. She works from practical, evidence-informed ways of helping people cope with stress, anxiety, grief and depression. Tracey aims to create a calm space where clients can talk about unwanted thoughts, low self-esteem, shame or guilt, and begin to feel less alone.

She brings three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Her practice is neurodivergent-affirming and she tailors sessions rather than using a single fixed method. This means conversations and exercises are chosen to suit each person’s situation.

Tracey supports people facing major life changes, parenting strain, anger and trauma or abuse recovery. She also works with concerns linked to ADHD, panic attacks and the emotional strains of ageing and caregiving. Women’s issues are a named focus area and are integrated into her work where relevant.

Sessions are aimed at practical coping skills as well as emotional processing. Expect clear, gentle encouragement to try different ways of thinking and small steps you can practise between sessions. Tracey keeps language simple and prioritises what feels manageable for each person.

If you prefer digital contact, she offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. The initial match begins through an online questionnaire and scheduling system that fits the client’s timetable and the therapist’s availability.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Tracey uses an integrative, trauma-sensitive way of working that blends techniques to match each person's needs. That can include brief, practical exercises to manage anxiety and grounding methods to reduce overwhelm. These help with symptoms like panic attacks, intrusive thoughts and sleep disruption.

She also takes a neurodivergent-affirming stance, which means adapting pace, structure and communication to fit how someone thinks and processes. This approach supports people with ADHD or those who find traditional session rhythms difficult, offering clearer steps and flexible methods to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Tracey will discuss options and try things out with the client, reviewing what helps and changing direction if needed. The collaborative process aims to match techniques to a person’s goals, comfort and daily routines.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility: video calls allow face-to-face conversation when more depth is needed, phone sessions work well with lower bandwidth or when being on camera is tiring, and live chat or text-based messaging suit quick check-ins or written reflection. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and travel while keeping continuity of care with registered professionals.
