Tracy Thompson , BACP

Tracy Thompson is a UK-licensed therapist with 16 years of professional experience across NHS services, charity organisations, and private practice. She works with both individuals and couples, offering practical support for everyday stressors as well as major life events and trauma.

Over the years Tracy has supported people with depression, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family dynamics, parenting challenges, sexual tensions, issues around sexuality and gender, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related concerns, and career questions. Her practice also addresses ADHD, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and coping with life changes, with additional focus areas that include attachment issues, abandonment, autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family difficulties, body image, chronic illness and caregiver stress, and aspects of kink and alternative sexual culture.

Tracy adopts a strengths-based stance, recognising that each person is the expert in their own story and that existing resources can be mobilised to meet current challenges. She offers structure, guidance, and collaborative support while drawing on a range of approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy to tailor work to individual needs. Tracy is a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), which is the UK professional body for counselling and psychotherapy, and she practices in line with its ethical guidelines. She is insured under UK legislation and welcomes the courage it takes to seek help and begin change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Tracy Thompson draws on evidence-informed approaches to shape online therapy so it fits the needs of each person. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and learn practical ways to act in line with those values while tolerating difficult thoughts and feelings. This approach can be useful for anxiety, low mood, chronic stress, and life transitions.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns of relating that develop from early experiences and how those patterns affect current relationships and emotional safety. It can be helpful for relationship difficulties, attachment issues, and challenges around intimacy and trust.

Client-Centered Therapy offers compassionate, nonjudgmental support that centres the client’s perspective and pace. It is especially suited to those seeking a supportive space to explore identity, grief, self-esteem, and complex life decisions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Tracy will work collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best match their goals, preferences, and circumstances. Online sessions with licensed professionals and therapists can be delivered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, reduced travel, and easier access for those living further away. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into everyday life while maintaining a consistent therapeutic relationship.
