Tracey Simeonova , BACP

Tracey Simeonova focuses on helping people whose thoughts, feelings, or behaviours interfere with their ability to feel well. She understands how frustrating, confusing and overwhelming repetitive cycles of distress can be, and she offers supportive, professional help so clients do not have to manage it alone.

With 15 years of experience working therapeutically with adults and teenagers, Tracey has practised in a range of settings including various charities, the NHS, international schools in Asia and the Middle East, and in private practice. She has also taught trainee counsellors on an Integrative Counselling Degree Programme. She holds BACP, which denotes affiliation with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Practising online as a person-centred therapist, Tracey draws on a wide range of therapeutic tools to help people process what they are facing and move forward. Her work is grounded in compassion, empathy, transparency and an unconditional acceptance of who a client is and what they are experiencing. She specialises in relational difficulties - whether that is the relationship a person has with themselves or with others - and supports people dealing with self-worth concerns, shame, identity and body image issues, unhelpful relationship patterns, and the weight of loss from endings, bereavement, life transitions or a fading sense of self.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Tracey integrates several evidence-informed approaches into her online practice to match the needs of each person she works with. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a warm, nonjudgmental relationship where the client’s own experiences guide the pace of change - it is helpful for building self-worth, processing shame and exploring identity. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns formed in early relationships and how they influence present connections; it can be useful for people dealing with abandonment, attachment concerns or repeated relationship difficulties. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) combines acceptance strategies with values-based action, helping people cope with painful thoughts and feelings while committing to meaningful life directions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Tracey collaborates with clients and licensed professionals to clarify goals, preferences and practical needs, adapting techniques as the work unfolds so the approach fits each person rather than the other way around.

Online therapy with Tracey is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, which supports flexibility for different schedules, locations and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access ongoing support, maintain continuity between sessions and integrate therapy into everyday life.
