About Tracie

Tracie Richards is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 15 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, career concerns and coaching needs. Tracie offers several therapeutic approaches including Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), EMDR and Motivational Interviewing.

Tracie aims for straightforward, practical conversations. She helps people name what feels difficult and try manageable steps to change unhelpful patterns. Sessions focus on what is happening now and what small moves could make things a bit easier.

Her approach draws on attachment ideas to look at how past relationships shape present reactions. Client-centred work gives people space to talk while the therapist follows their lead. CBT is used to spot thoughts and behaviours that keep anxiety and stress going, and EMDR is offered as a tool for processing distress linked to traumatic memories.

Tracie also brings coaching skills into work on career decisions and life direction. That can mean setting practical goals, testing options, and reviewing progress between sessions. People who come for relationship concerns explore patterns of connection and separation, including issues such as abandonment, codependency and attachment difficulties.

She works with situational and long-term stress including grief, guilt, shame, isolation and responses to illness. Sessions are conducted in English and Tracie does not accept international clients. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and an initial booking are used to schedule the first session.

How her approaches translate to online work

Tracie uses attachment-based ideas to look at how earlier relationships shape current feelings and reactions; this helps when people struggle with trust, intimacy or persistent relationship patterns. Client-centred work means the therapist follows the person's pace and priorities, providing space to talk and reflect without imposing a fixed agenda. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps identify and test thoughts and behaviours that maintain anxiety or stress, and it often includes practical exercises to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tracie will discuss different methods and together the client and therapist decide which fits the person's goals, needs and preferences. That collaborative choice can be reviewed and adjusted as therapy continues.

Confirm the session formats before booking as the biography does not specify them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare or travel, reduce time spent on commuting and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about how sessions are scheduled and how the subscription billing applies so arrangements fit everyday life.
