About Tracie
Tracie Richards is a counsellor with 15 years of experience who helps people facing stress and anxiety. She offers calm, straightforward support for those dealing with relationship strain, traumatic experiences, workplace challenges and life transitions. She aims to make the first step less daunting.
In sessions she listens closely and asks practical questions to clarify what matters most. That lets people set clear, manageable goals and try small, achievable changes between meetings.
Background and approach
Tracie draws on approaches that focus on relationships and present-day thinking. She uses attachment-informed work to look at how early connections affect current feelings. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.
For people with trauma or painful memories she can use EMDR to help process distressing events. Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck and needs a nudge to find their own reasons to change. Tracie adapts sessions to the person’s pace and needs.
Her practice is based in the United Kingdom and she is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions are held online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging to suit different schedules and preferences. Tracie encourages practical steps and steady progress.
She works with people who want clearer thinking, better emotional balance and more control over daily stressors.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Tracie often uses attachment-informed work and cognitive behavioural techniques in her online practice. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and helps people understand patterns in close relationships. Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behaviour changes to reduce anxiety and stress.She also uses EMDR for people who want help processing distressing memories; this method involves guided techniques to reduce the intensity of past events. Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk through options and decide together which methods suit a person’s goals, pace and comfort level.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use facial cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions avoid video and can fit a short break in a busy day. Live chat or text messaging can be useful for quick check-ins, ongoing reflection or when typing is easier than speaking. These options make it easier to attend sessions around work, family or travel commitments while keeping therapy part of a regular routine.
