About Tracy
Tracy Thompson is a counsellor with 16 years of clinical experience across the NHS, charity organisations and independent practice in the United Kingdom. She works with individuals and couples, offering calm, practical support when life becomes hard. Tracy operates under the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and follows their ethical guidelines.
Tracy helps people manage anxiety, depression and stress in everyday life. She also supports those coping with addiction, grief, trauma and major life changes.
Background and approach
Relationship and intimacy issues, questions about sexuality and LGBT concerns are part of her caseload, as are parenting and family dynamics. Her approach is collaborative and down-to-earth. Tracy treats the person, not just the problem, and believes people carry strengths they can use to move forward.
She offers structure and gentle guidance while clients find what works for them. Tracy draws on practical therapies such as cognitive behavioural ideas and mindfulness to introduce coping tools. Attachment-based thinking helps when relationship patterns are causing pain.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT, is used to help people live with difficult thoughts and still take meaningful action. Clients come to Tracy for both short-term problem solving and longer work on deeper issues. She accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.
The subscription used for sessions can be cancelled at any time.

How Tracy’s approaches translate to online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while still taking steps that matter to them. It is often used for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, focuses on practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and can be useful for stress, mood and certain relationship problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and helps people change repeating patterns that cause pain.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tracy will discuss different methods and help choose what fits with the client’s goals, preferences and everyday life. The process is collaborative and can be reviewed as therapy progresses.
The therapist biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit counselling into a busy day, avoid travel time and have a quieter space for reflection. Others prefer shorter check-ins when they are juggling work or caring responsibilities. Talk with Tracy about what would suit the practicalities of your life and she will help arrange sessions accordingly.
