Tracy Thompson , BACP

Tracy Thompson is a counsellor with 16 years of experience in the United Kingdom. She has worked across the NHS, charities and private practice. Tracy meets people where they are and focuses on practical support for everyday struggles.

Tracy helps people facing anxiety, depression, stress and addictions. She also supports those dealing with relationship difficulties, intimacy concerns, grief and trauma. Her practice includes work around sexuality and gender, parenting questions and challenges linked to chronic illness or caring roles.

Tracy draws on several approaches to shape sessions, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based ideas, client-centred listening, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and mindfulness. She believes clients know their own stories best and offers structure and steady guidance alongside that knowledge.

Sessions are conversational and aim to build small, useful changes over time. Tracy focuses on clear steps people can try between meetings and on practical ways to cope with life changes. She also brings coaching skills to goal-focused work.

Tracy is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and follows their ethical standards. She accepts people who live outside the UK and offers a range of online session formats to suit different needs.

Therapeutic approaches and online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small actions in line with those values while learning to notice difficult thoughts. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current responses and aims to build safer ways of relating to others and to oneself. It is often helpful for intimacy concerns and relationship patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tracy will discuss different methods and adjust the style to fit your goals and preferences. The process is collaborative, with the therapist and client deciding together what feels most useful as sessions progress.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make counselling more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or messaging suit shorter check-ins or times when typing feels simpler. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and busy schedules while using approaches that focus on practical changes and everyday coping.
