About Tracie

Tracie Richards is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 15 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are coping with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and career concerns. Her manner is straightforward and warm, aiming to make the first steps feel manageable for someone who is anxious or unsure.

Tracie uses a mix of approaches to suit the person in front of her. Sessions are shaped around what the client needs, whether that means talking through attachment patterns, learning practical ways to manage worry, or working through memories that feel stuck.

Background and approach

She explains ideas plainly and checks in regularly to make sure the pace feels right. People come to her for issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, codependency, dissociation, or relationship breakdowns. She also supports those dealing with life transitions, midlife questions, or the strain brought by illness such as cancer.

Tracie pays attention to how past experiences affect present choices and feelings. Her way of working is collaborative and goal-focused when needed. That can include short-term, solution-focused conversations or longer work that looks at patterns over time.

She draws on methods like client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural techniques, attachment-based perspectives, EMDR and motivational interviewing to inform sessions. Sessions take place online using video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging. Tracie works in English and is registered with the BACP, which is noted on her profile.

How Tracie adapts therapy online using different approaches

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns of closeness and trust. In sessions it means noticing how a client reacts to others and trying new ways of relating that feel safer and more satisfying. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and testing simple, practical changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood. EMDR helps people who have distressing memories by using structured processing to reduce the intensity of those memories and the reactions they trigger.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Tracie will talk with the client about goals and preferences and agree a plan that may blend methods. That collaborative process helps make sure the techniques match what the person needs at each stage.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed; live chat and text messaging suit shorter reflections or people who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family life or health needs while keeping the focus on practical progress and understanding.
