About Tracey
Tracey Gardener is a BACP counsellor who uses attachment-informed and trauma-aware ways of working. She focuses on anxiety, stress, relationship patterns and depression. Tracey aims to create a calm, down-to-earth space where people can talk and make sense of painful experiences.
Her practice draws on attachment-based ideas to help people see how early relationships shape current reactions. She mixes that with cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and with mindfulness to build steadier moments in daily life.
Background and approach
This blend helps people understand old wounds and begin to change unhelpful patterns. Tracey has 12 years of experience and a BA (Hons) in Integrative Counselling plus an FdA in Counselling. She also holds a Diploma in Mindful Mental Health and has completed continuing professional development in areas such as eating disorders, sex addiction, and attachment theory.
These trainings inform how she tailors sessions to each person’s needs. In sessions she keeps things practical and grounded. Conversations focus on what is happening now, how it links back to the past, and what small steps might feel doable.
The pace is set by the client so they can work through difficult topics without overwhelm. Tracey works with adults in the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English. She invites people to take a first step, recognising that reaching out is often the hardest part of change.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Tracey will talk with each person about their needs, goals and what feels doable. Together they will choose or combine methods so therapy fits the person's life and preferences rather than asking people to fit a strict model.
Online therapy offers a range of flexible formats. Video calls provide a face-to-face feeling when that matters. Phone sessions work well when video is difficult or lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat or text-based messaging suits shorter check-ins, keeping notes, or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, caring duties and daily life while keeping the practical focus of the approaches mentioned above.
