Tracy Thompson, BACP

Tracy Thompson is a UK-licensed therapist with 16 years of professional experience working across the NHS, charity organisations and private practice. She meets with both individuals and couples and brings a practical, compassionate approach to a wide range of presenting concerns.

Throughout her career she has supported people through life’s curve balls and major events, helping with issues such as depression, anxiety, addictions, relationship problems, family dynamics, parenting challenges, sexual tensions, matters of sexuality and gender, and trauma. Her work addresses both everyday stressors and more complex experiences, with an emphasis on helping clients navigate change and regain balance.

Tracy believes that each person is the expert in their own story and that existing strengths can be mobilised to meet current challenges. Her role is to work alongside clients, offering structure, guidance and practical tools while respecting each person’s perspective and pace.

She is a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK, and operates under their ethical guidelines. Tracy is also insured under UK legislation.

She recognises that asking for help takes courage and commends people for taking that first step. Tracy looks forward to meeting new clients and supporting them through their next steps.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify their values, accept difficult thoughts and feelings, and take committed steps toward a more meaningful life. It can be helpful for stress, anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores relational patterns that began in early life and how they affect current relationships and emotional responses. It can support people dealing with intimacy issues, attachment difficulties, relationship conflict and the emotional aftermath of trauma.

Tracy works collaboratively with clients to identify which approach or combination of approaches best fits their needs, goals and preferences. Finding the right method is part of the therapeutic process, and Tracy will help clients decide on a course of work that feels practical and achievable with clear, shared goals.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility, allowing people to meet by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, to maintain continuity across locations and time zones, and to choose the format that feels most comfortable for each session. Registered professionals and therapists can adapt techniques used in face-to-face work to these online formats, supporting progress in a way that suits each client’s life.
