Tracy Thompson, BACP

Tracy Thompson has spent 16 years practising in the United Kingdom across NHS services, charities and private practice. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and follows their ethical guidance. Tracy frames her work around practical support and clear structure. She sees individuals and couples and aims to help people navigate difficult moments in life.

Tracy helps people manage stress and anxiety, and deal with loss, trauma and major life changes. She also offers support around addictions, relationship challenges, sexuality and gender questions, parenting pressures, work and career concerns, and issues with self-esteem and intimacy. Her broader focus includes areas such as ADHD, chronic illness, caregiver strain and body image concerns.

Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. Tracy treats clients as experts on their own lives and offers tools to make day-to-day coping easier. Sessions typically combine practical strategies, reflective listening and mindfulness skills so people can notice what matters and act on it.

Tracy draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas to help people change patterns that cause pain. She also uses client-centred listening to make space for people to tell their stories in their own way.

She provides therapy through video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling the first session.

How Tracy’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take steps that match their values. It can help with anxiety, depression and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which is useful for anxiety, low mood and coping skills. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns and aims to improve connection and trust in later relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tracy will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which methods fit best. Sessions are collaborative, so approaches are adjusted as progress and priorities become clearer.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls let visual cues guide the session, phone sessions are useful when internet bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or mobility needs while keeping the focus on practical skills and emotionally supportive conversation.
