About Tracy
Tracy Thompson is a counsellor with 16 years of experience working in NHS settings, charities and independent practice across the United Kingdom. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and works alongside people to navigate stressful periods and major life events. Tracy aims to offer practical support while recognising each person's strengths and choices.
She helps people facing depression, anxiety and addiction, and supports those dealing with trauma and grief.
Background and approach
Relationship concerns, sexual tensions, questions about sexuality and gender, and parenting stresses are also within her scope. Tracy also works with people coping with chronic illness, caregiver stress, career pressures and life transitions. Her approach is collaborative and down to earth.
She listens first, then offers structure and tools that fit the situation. Tracy encourages clients to use their existing strengths while trying new ways of responding to difficult feelings and situations. Tracy draws on a mix of therapeutic approaches to match each person's needs.
She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and take meaningful action, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to address thinking and behaviour patterns, and attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns. Mindfulness practices and client-centred listening are woven into sessions when helpful. Sessions are offered in English and Tracy works with international clients.
She provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the platform process.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters most to them and take steps in that direction, even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise. It can be useful for stress, anxiety and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with depression, anxiety and problem behaviours. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationship patterns affect current connections and communication, and can be helpful when relationship dynamics or intimacy issues are causing distress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Tracy will discuss options and try methods that suit the client’s needs, goals and preferences. She adapts her methods over time, checking in about what is helpful and changing course when needed so the process stays collaborative.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer typing, want ongoing check-ins between sessions or need a low-key way to stay engaged. These formats make therapy more accessible around work, caregiving or mobility constraints and help people fit support into busy lives.
