Tracy Thompson, BACP

Tracy Thompson has worked in counselling for 16 years across the NHS, charity organisations and private practice in the United Kingdom. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Tracy supports people facing stress, anxiety and life changes, and has experience with relationship and intimacy concerns as well as addiction and trauma.

She focuses on practical, conversational therapy. Sessions are a place to talk through what is happening now, name strengths and try small changes. Tracy aims to work alongside clients, offering structure and clear options rather than one-size-fits-all answers.

Over the years she has helped people with grief, parenting pressures, career shifts and long-term conditions. She also engages with issues around sexuality and gender, compassion fatigue, ADHD and complex care needs. Her background includes helping clients cope with major life events and the ongoing stresses that follow.

Tracy draws on a range of approaches to suit different needs. She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help spot unhelpful thinking and Behavioural experiments to test new ways of coping. Mindfulness techniques are offered to build present-moment skills and reduce reactivity.

Her practice emphasises collaboration and small practical steps. New clients are guided through a short matching questionnaire and then helped to schedule sessions that fit their circumstances. She welcomes people from the UK and international locations who prefer to work in English.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small committed actions even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It can help with anxiety, stress and making values-based changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and tests small experiments to shift unhelpful cycles; this approach is often used for anxiety, low mood and adjustment to life changes.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as work progresses so therapy matches changing needs.

The original profile does not list specific online formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people continue work with a familiar counsellor when relocating or living abroad. Registered or accredited professionals typically adapt techniques like ACT and CBT to work well at a distance and help clients build new routines in everyday life.
