About Tracy

Tracy Thompson works with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and sexuality concerns, and trauma using a blend of therapeutic approaches she names as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, attachment-based and client-centred work. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and has 16 years of professional experience in the UK.

Tracy draws on experience gained in NHS settings, charities and private practice. She has worked with people facing major life events, ongoing stressors and complex trauma. Presenting issues she commonly sees include depression, anxiety, addiction, grief, intimacy-related concerns, parenting and career difficulties.

Her way of working treats the client as the expert of their own story. She offers guidance and structure while helping people notice their strengths and options. Sessions involve talking through current problems, learning practical strategies and practising new ways of responding to thoughts and feelings.

Tracy also works with concerns relating to sexuality and gender, LGBT issues, and relationship dynamics. Additional focus areas listed include attachment issues, body image, chronic illness and caregiver stress, as well as neurodiversity-related matters such as autism and Asperger Syndrome.

How Tracy uses therapeutic approaches in online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, and focuses on taking action that fits their values; it can be useful for anxiety, stress and coping with change.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical exercises to change patterns that cause distress; it is commonly used for anxiety and depression.

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships affect current patterns in relationships and emotion regulation, which can be helpful for intimacy and attachment issues.

Finding the right approach is part of how Tracy works. She will discuss goals and preferences and will help decide which methods to try, adjusting the plan as sessions progress. This is a collaborative process where practical steps and reflective work are balanced according to what each person needs.
