Tracey Slater, BACP

Tracey Slater uses an integrative approach to counselling that draws on several evidence-based techniques. She aims to make therapy feel personal rather than one size fits all. Tracey creates a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through stress, anxiety, low mood and grief. She explains things simply and helps clients find practical ways to manage worry, unwanted thoughts and sleep difficulties.

Tracey has three years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Her practice is trauma sensitive and she describes herself as neurodivergent-affirming. That means she pays attention to the impact of past hurt and to ways the brain processes information differently.

She supports people facing life changes, parenting strain, anger, low self-esteem and feelings of guilt or shame. ADHD, panic attacks and women’s issues are also areas she works with. Tracey can help when caring responsibilities or ageing concerns add pressure to day-to-day life.

Sessions focus on talking, practical coping strategies and building small changes that add up. Tracey encourages clients to notice what helps and to shape the work to their needs. She aims to make therapy feel manageable and relevant to everyday life.

People who choose her can expect thoughtful listening and steady support as they work through difficult feelings. Her goal is to help clients feel less alone and better able to cope with what life brings.

How integrative therapy works online

Tracey describes her approach as integrative, combining different evidence-based techniques to meet each person’s needs. That can mean using trauma-informed ways of working to help people process past hurt, with gentle pacing and grounding strategies to reduce overwhelm. It can also mean using interventions that target thinking patterns and practical coping skills for anxiety, panic and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy. Tracey works collaboratively to identify which methods suit a person’s history, goals and preferences. She adjusts the mix as therapy progresses so the work stays relevant and manageable.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues; phone sessions suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who have lower bandwidth. Live chat and messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, real-time support between meetings and for people who find typing easier than talking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caring duties and daily life.
