Tracy Sharman, BACP

Tracy Sharman is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She holds BACP credentialing and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions and career concerns. Tracy writes plainly and aims to make the first step into therapy feel less daunting for new clients.

Her style is open and non-judgemental. She creates space for people to talk about difficult thoughts and feelings. Sessions centre on what matters to the individual person rather than a fixed agenda.

Tracy blends several approaches to meet practical needs. She draws on client-centred methods to prioritise the person's own goals. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy ideas are used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test small changes.

For deeper relationship and attachment issues she uses attachment-based and emotionally focused techniques to look at how past relationships shape current reactions. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills are available for managing strong emotions and building coping strategies.

Her approach suits people who want clear, straightforward therapy that focuses on everyday life changes and coping tools. She also offers help with longer-standing difficulties such as bipolar symptoms, ADHD and complex grief or abandonment concerns. Tracy aims to work at a pace that feels manageable and practical for each person.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Tracy often uses client-centred work and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people make practical changes. Client-centred counselling focuses on listening and following the person's lead, helping them clarify what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at unhelpful thoughts and supports testing small behaviour changes to reduce distress.

She also draws on attachment-based and emotionally focused ideas when past relationships shape current reactions. These approaches help people understand patterns in relationships and respond differently to triggers. Choosing the right approach is collaborative; Tracy works with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and keeps testing what helps as therapy progresses.

Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or for people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to attend sessions from diverse locations and to choose the format that best matches daily life and practical needs.
