Tracie Richards

Tracie Richards is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 15 years of experience. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, career doubts and life purpose questions. Tracie uses straightforward, practical methods to help clients untangle what feels confusing or overwhelming.

She works in a direct and conversational way. Sessions focus on what is happening now and what the client wants to change. Tracie draws on client-centred ideas to follow the client’s concerns, and on cognitive behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test different ways of responding.

For people affected by trauma, she incorporates eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing, aiming to reduce the hold of painful memories while keeping the work manageable. Attachment-based work is used where early relationship patterns affect current life and connections with others.

Tracie also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies to help with decision points, career shifts and making practical steps towards goals. These methods are brief and action-oriented when that suits the person, and more exploratory when needed.

She speaks English and practises in the United Kingdom. Sessions are organised via a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. Prospective clients choose the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to begin.

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Tracie uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape present patterns. This approach helps when loyalty, fear of abandonment or repeated relationship difficulties keep showing up in life.

She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at thoughts, feelings and behaviours together. CBT helps people notice unhelpful thinking, try different actions and measure what changes as a result.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy work. The therapist will help the client choose methods that match their goals and preferences, and adjust the approach as understanding grows. That choice is made collaboratively rather than assumed at the start.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting appointments into a busy day, shorter check-ins when time is limited, and avoiding travel for people juggling work or care responsibilities. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt techniques such as EMDR and CBT to remote work, and the therapist will discuss how to structure sessions to suit the client’s circumstances.
