About Tracie
Tracie Richards is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 15 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, career worries and coaching needs. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits and then try different ways of responding. Attachment-Based and Client-Centred approaches also inform how she listens and plans sessions. EMDR and Motivational Interviewing may be included depending on the issues presented.
Tracie keeps sessions straightforward and goal-focused. She helps people break problems into manageable parts, identify patterns, and set small experiments to test new behaviours. Conversations are aimed at building clearer thinking and more workable day-to-day routines.
Her work covers a wide range of concerns beyond anxiety and relationships. These include abandonment and attachment issues, codependency and control problems, dissociation, divorce and separation, and life-stage issues such as midlife crisis and questions about life purpose. She also notes experience with autism and cancer-related challenges.
People who come for help often want concrete strategies as well as an attentive listener. Tracie encourages practical tools, short tasks between sessions, and steady review of what helps most. This approach keeps therapy focused on what the person hopes to change.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
CBT helps people identify patterns of thought and behaviour that keep problems going. In an online conversation this often means tracking a few situations, noting the thoughts that arise, and practising different responses between sessions. It is useful for anxiety, stress and everyday coping. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape expectations and reactions. In remote sessions this might mean mapping relationship patterns, noticing triggers and trying new ways of relating to others. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person can find their own solutions rather than being given instructions. Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical constraints and then recommend which methods to try. That decision is reviewed as therapy progresses so the plan can change if something is not helpful. Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as the original biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings around work, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. The focus remains on practical exercises, clear goals and progress that fits into everyday life.Areas of expertise
