About Tracie
Tracie Richards is a counsellor who helps people struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and career concerns. She writes in a straightforward way and aims to make the first step feel manageable for someone who is worried or exhausted. Tracie works from a practical, compassionate stance and encourages open sharing without judgement.
She draws on about 15 years of experience and holds BACP accreditation, which she uses to guide ethical and reflective practice. Sessions focus on what matters most to the client, whether that is managing anxiety, untangling relationship patterns, or finding direction at work.
Tracie uses a mix of approaches depending on the issue and the person. She offers attachment-based ways of thinking about relationships, client-centred listening that follows the client’s pace, and cognitive-behavioural techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is also part of her toolkit for working with trauma.
Clients can expect practical steps alongside space to talk through feelings. Tracie also uses motivational techniques to help people make changes and stay on track. Her work touches on abandonment, attachment issues, dissociation, and midlife transitions among other concerns.
Work and wellbeing issues are a regular focus, including managing workplace stress and exploring career choices. She supports people coping with codependency, grief, guilt and shame, isolation, and the emotional impacts of illness and separation.
Approach and how online sessions can help
Attachment-based work looks at how past relationship patterns affect current feelings and responses. In conversation, this helps people notice patterns that repeat and try alternative ways of connecting. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s pace. It gives space for someone to make sense of their feelings and set their own goals. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and actions and tests different ways of thinking and behaving to reduce distress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tracie will discuss these options with the client and choose methods together based on needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative conversation helps set realistic steps and keeps the work practical and focused.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the exact formats before booking as session types are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time so people can use a break from work or family duties. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt their methods for remote sessions so you can continue trauma-focused work, anxiety management and career coaching when meeting online.
