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 is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and follows their ethical guidelines. Tracy meets people who are dealing with everyday stress as well as major life changes and trauma.
Her work tends to be straightforward and practical. She listens to each person's story and helps them spot strengths they can use.
Background and approach
Sessions combine gentle challenge with clear structure so people can try things between meetings and build momentum. Tracy has helped with depression, anxiety and addictions, and she supports people navigating relationships, sexuality and gender. She also works with those facing grief, parenting pressures, career concerns and long-term health conditions.
Trauma and abuse are within her stated focus areas. Her approach draws on a mix of well-known methods to suit different needs, including cognitive behavioural ideas, acceptance-based techniques and attachment-informed thinking. She aims to match methods to the person rather than push a single way of working.
Tracy describes the client as the expert in their life and sees her role as companion and guide. She uses clear goals and practical tools so change feels manageable. If someone is ready to take a first step, she encourages a simple initial match and a plan for moving forward.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Tracy uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on values-driven action. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression and coping with life change because it links small steps to what matters most.She also works from an attachment-based perspective, which looks at how relationships and early patterns shape current connections. This approach helps when relationship problems, intimacy-related issues or caregiving strain are central concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tracy will talk through methods with each person and pick approaches together based on their needs, goals and preferences. The process is collaborative and may mix techniques rather than stick to one model.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions are good for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions suit people with less bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera, and text or chat can be useful for shorter check-ins or when flexibility is needed. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties or living far from services.
