About Tracey

Tracey Simeonova is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 15 years of experience. She works with adults and teenagers on relationship and self-related concerns, including self-esteem, grief, anxiety, stress and addiction. Tracey often helps people who feel stuck in repeating cycles of painful thoughts, feelings or behaviours.

Tracey has worked in charities, the NHS, international schools in Asia and the Middle East, and in private practice. She has also taught trainee counsellors on an integrative counselling degree programme. This range of settings informs a practical, straightforward approach to common life problems.

Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), attachment-based approaches and client-centred practice. Sessions look at thought patterns and day-to-day habits and test out small changes to see what helps. She also uses existential ideas to help people think about values and meaning when facing life transitions.

Typical issues Tracey addresses include relationship problems, family difficulties, trauma and abuse, parenting stresses, eating and body-image issues, substance use concerns, anger and low mood. She also lists more specific areas such as abandonment, attachment issues, codependency and dissociation. Her focus is on practical strategies people can try between sessions.

People who contact Tracey are asked to complete a short questionnaire to help match priorities and to plan the first session. She accepts international clients and conducts work in English. Costs vary by location and are handled through a cancellable subscription model.

How Tracey uses CBT, ACT and attachment ideas online

Tracey uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thought patterns and to test small behavioural changes. CBT is practical and often involves short exercises to try between sessions to see what works. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify their values and take committed action even when difficult feelings are present. Attachment-based approaches look at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and communication.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Tracey will talk with clients about their goals, preferences and what feels useful. Together they decide whether to focus on changing thoughts and habits, exploring values and meaning, or looking at attachment patterns that shape relationships.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online work makes it easier to fit sessions into busy days, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or avoiding camera use when that helps. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor session pace and tasks to everyday life, helping people try practical steps between meetings.
