About Tracie

Tracie Richards is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety and the effects of trauma and abuse. She works with individuals who are struggling with relationships or career pressures and offers practical support to find clearer ways forward. Tracie holds BACP accreditation, which is shown as BACP, and brings 15 years of hands-on experience to sessions.

Her style is straightforward and warm. She aims to create an open space where difficult topics can be spoken about honestly.

Background and approach

In sessions she listens first, then helps people decide which steps feel right for them. Tracie uses a mix of approaches to suit each person. That can include trauma-focused work, talking-based methods that centre the client, and cognitive tools to shift thinking patterns.

She may also draw on eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing for memories that remain stuck. People come for many reasons beyond trauma and anxiety. Tracie also supports those facing abandonment worries, attachment issues, codependency, life purpose questions, grief, divorce and illness-related stress.

She outlines practical goals and checks in often so progress stays relevant to daily life. Sessions are conversational and paced to the individual. Tracie explains methods plainly and collaborates on a plan that fits the person’s needs and commitments.

Her approach aims to help people feel steadier and more able to make the next move in their life.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Tracie uses trauma-focused work to help people process distressing memories and reduce their hold on daily life; this approach looks at the impact of painful experiences and uses structured steps to soothe overwhelming reactions. Attachment-based therapy examines patterns in close relationships and helps people understand and change how they connect with others, which can ease feelings of abandonment and loneliness. Client-centred therapy places the person at the heart of each session, with the counsellor following the client’s pace and priorities to build clarity and confidence.

Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. Tracie will talk through options, listen to what matters most to the individual, and tailor methods to their goals and circumstances. That means the plan can change as progress is made and new priorities appear.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when more nuance is helpful. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a work break. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life while keeping the focus on practical, steady progress.
