Tracey Bonelle, BACP

Tracey Bonelle offers calm, steady support for people feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or unsure how to move forward. She meets each person with warmth and without judgement. Sessions aim to help people make sense of their feelings and find small, practical steps to feel more balanced.

Tracey listens closely and works at a pace that suits the individual. She focuses on building a reliable therapeutic relationship where a person can speak openly and be heard. The initial work often involves noticing patterns and naming emotions so they lose some of their power.

Her approach adapts to what the person needs most. Some sessions are mainly about being listened to, while others include practical tools to manage stress, mood, or difficult moments. She helps people process grief, manage anxiety, and cope with life changes in plain, straightforward ways.

Tracey uses ideas from attachment-based work to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She also draws on client-centred ways of working to keep the person’s own goals central. Techniques from dialectical behaviour therapy and mindfulness are used when building emotional regulation and coping skills.

Tracey is a BACP member and brings six years of direct counselling experience. She offers sessions online by video, phone, chat, or text messaging. International clients who speak English may use these formats and can match with her through the site’s sign-up process.

How Tracey’s approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can look at how those patterns affect present-day reactions and close connections, helping people notice and shift unhelpful cycles. Client-centred therapy keeps the person’s experience at the heart of the work, with the counsellor offering an accepting, non-judgemental presence to help clients make sense of their feelings and choices.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Tracey will discuss different approaches and decide together which fits best with a person’s goals and preferences. That collaborative planning means sessions can focus on listening, exploring past patterns, or practising new coping skills as needed.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people see facial expressions and build rapport; phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier if being on camera feels difficult. Live chat or text messaging suits shorter check-ins, people who prefer writing, or those who want regular brief support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caring duties, or when travel is difficult, while still working with registered or accredited professionals.
