About Tracy

Tracy Thompson is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 16 years of practice across the NHS, charities and private work. She works with individuals and couples and lists anxiety, depression, addictions and relationship concerns among the issues she supports. She also works with trauma, family and parenting challenges and with concerns around sexuality and gender.

Tracy describes clients as having brought a wide range of life stresses and major events to sessions. She places value on the client as expert in their own story and focuses on helping people draw on their existing strengths. In practical terms she offers guidance and structure alongside the person in therapy.

Her clinical approaches include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy. Those methods are used to help with patterns of thinking, coping with emotions and improving relationships.

She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, abbreviated as BACP, and works under their ethical guidelines. She also carries insurance that meets UK requirements.

When someone first reaches out she asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Tracy notes that taking the first step can feel difficult and she will work together with each person to set a clear way forward.

How her approaches work for online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and committing to actions that reflect what matters to the individual. It is often used for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical tools to change unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression and some trauma-related symptoms.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Tracy will work with each person to identify goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. Together they review what helps and adapt the work as they go.

Confirm the session formats before booking so you know what is offered for appointments. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life, for example by removing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins during a busy day. Many people find online sessions help maintain regular contact while continuing with work, caring or other commitments. Registered or accredited professionals can explain which approach and format will best match practical needs.
