Tracie Richards

Tracie Richards is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety and relationship struggles. She works with adults facing trauma, abuse and career challenges, and she also supports people dealing with divorce and separation. Tracie uses a straightforward, warm style to help people take the first steps toward feeling better.

Tracie holds BACP membership, which is noted as her professional credential. She brings 15 years of clinical experience to conversations and aims to make sessions practical and down-to-earth. Conversations tend to be focused on what matters most to the client and on small steps that can make a real difference.

Her approach draws on several methods including Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and EMDR where appropriate. That mix allows her to look at current thinking and behaviour, as well as past experiences that keep problems repeating. Sessions often include talking through patterns, trying new ways of coping, and setting manageable goals.

Tracie also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and Solution-Focused techniques when quick practical shifts are needed. She will work with each person to agree priorities and the pace of therapy.

Sessions are conducted in English and delivered from the United Kingdom. Prospective clients should follow the booking steps shown on the site to match with Tracie and arrange an initial session.

How Tracie's approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions. Online sessions using this work help people notice how they seek connection and learn new ways to feel more secure in relationships.

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the centre. In this approach the therapist listens closely, reflects what they hear, and follows the client's pace to build clearer understanding and self-direction.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going. Practically, clients learn to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviours that reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that suit their needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can change over time as progress is made.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, by reducing travel time and allowing sessions during work breaks or quieter moments at home. Different ways of meeting may have different practical benefits, so confirm which formats are offered before booking. The focus remains on helping clients apply the chosen therapies to real-life situations and everyday challenges.
