About Tracy
Tracy Thompson is a counsellor with 16 years of experience working across the NHS, charities and independent practice in the United Kingdom. She meets people where they are and offers steady, practical support when life becomes overwhelming. Tracy is a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
Tracy works alongside clients to make sense of stress, anxiety and depression. She also helps with addictions, relationship issues, intimacy and sexual concerns, and the aftermath of trauma and abuse.
Background and approach
Conversations are honest and focused on real steps forward. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and builds structure around their strengths.
Sessions often include practical exercises to help manage mood, behaviour and difficult thoughts. Tracy draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioural ideas, mindfulness, acceptance and commitment elements, attachment perspectives and a client-centred way of listening. These methods are used flexibly to fit the person and the problem rather than as rigid rules.
Many people come with big life changes, caregiving stress, grief or ongoing health concerns, and Tracy offers ways to cope with those pressures. She also supports clients with identity questions, sexuality and kink-related matters in a non-judgemental way. To begin, she encourages a simple first step of reaching out and describing your situation.
From there she will work with you to agree on practical goals and a way of working that suits your life and needs.

Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns and is useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with stress.
Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships affect current patterns of relating. It can help people understand trust, intimacy and repeating relationship difficulties.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and try different ways of working to see what fits. Change often happens by combining methods and adjusting them to your pace and needs.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation across distances. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and messaging are useful for shorter check-ins or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around family, work and daily life.
