About Tracie
Tracie Richards is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, career uncertainty and life purpose questions. Tracie focuses on helping people who feel stuck after life changes and want clear steps forward.
Her approach is direct and practical. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships affect current patterns. She draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviours. EMDR is used where trauma memories are getting in the way of daily life.
Sessions tend to be straightforward conversations that aim to make problems easier to manage. Tracie also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused work when people want help deciding next steps or making a change. These methods are used alongside client-centred listening to keep the focus on each person’s priorities.
She helps people talk through issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, codependency, isolation, and guilt or shame. Career concerns, midlife questions and life purpose are included alongside practical struggles like control issues, dissociation and the aftermath of separation.
Tracie works in English and sees people in the UK. Her BACP membership is recorded as BACP, which indicates registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. To begin, people follow the listed booking steps to match and schedule a first session.
How Tracie uses approaches online and what to expect
Tracie works with attachment-based ideas to map how early and close relationships shape current patterns. This approach looks at emotional bonds and how they affect trust, closeness and conflict, which can help with relationship strain and attachment worries.She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural changes. CBT is practical and often helps with anxiety, stress and decision-making about work or life direction. When trauma memories are a core problem, she may use EMDR to help reduce the intensity of distressing memories and support day-to-day functioning.
Figuring out the best approach is part of the work. Tracie will discuss options and decide collaboratively which methods suit a person’s needs, goals and preferences rather than imposing a single method.
The precise online session formats are not specified here, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people choose quieter surroundings, turn off video if that helps, or fit a session into a lunch break without commuting.
