Tracy Thompson, BACP

Tracy Thompson is a counsellor with 16 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She has worked in NHS settings, charity organisations and private practice. Tracy meets people where they are and helps them untangle what feels overwhelming right now.

Tracy supports individuals and couples through stress, major life changes and traumatic events. Common concerns she sees include depression, anxiety, addictions, relationship tensions, sexuality and gender questions, and family and parenting strains. She emphasises people’s strengths and practical steps forward rather than labels.

Her way of working is collaborative and structured. She listens first, then offers ideas, tools and gentle challenges to help people test new ways of coping. Sessions may include notice of thoughts and feelings, practical problem solving and exercises to try between meetings.

Tracy is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which guides her professional practice. She carries professional insurance that meets UK requirements.

She accepts international clients and runs work shaped by what each person needs. The first step is simply to say you need help; from there she will guide the next practical steps.

Tracy aims to make therapy straightforward and understandable. Her approach blends experience with clear methods so people can build small changes that add up over time.

How Tracy’s approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and choosing actions that match what matters to you. It can help with anxiety, stress and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and uses practical experiments to shift patterns that cause distress. It is often used for anxiety, depression and unhelpful habits.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The counsellor will work collaboratively to choose which methods to try based on goals, preferences and what helps in early sessions. That might mean blending ACT, CBT and client-centred listening across meetings rather than sticking to one method.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into busy days, avoid travel, and continue support if you move location. It also allows a wider choice of therapists when people want specialist experience. A therapist and client can agree on practical adaptations - shorter check-ins, fewer tasks in a week, or not using video if that helps - to fit therapy into everyday life without changing the work itself.
